J. Product. & Dev., the journal publishes the best, innovative, and cutting-edge science that relates to plants, animals, poultry, and fish (farmed or managed) used for plant or animal production, and that is relevant to whole Agricultural outcomes. Papers can be accepted from all species if they are in, or contribute knowledge to, Agricultural production systems. J. Product. & Dev.,is essential reading for all Agricultural scientists, stakeholders, and policymakers interested in agricultural, biomedical, and environmental sciences with expected impacts on Agricultural Production and development, Welfare, Health, Food Security, Environment, Climate Change, Product Quality, Human Health and Nutrition, and Sustainability of Agriculture and Livestock Systems. Impacts should be of international relevance. J. Product. & Dev., aims to publish novel and original research papers, horizon-scanning reviews and critically informative opinion papers. Papers should consider Agricultural responses, as well as lower or upper levels of understanding, with research spanning from genes to systems. Interactions between levels of approach are encouraged to account for the integrative nature of biological systems. The main subject areas include breeding and genetics; nutrition; physiology and functional biology; welfare, behavior, and health management (welfare and behavior; health management); farming systems; and quality of agricultural products. |
