About the Journal
International Journal of Animal Biotechnology and Applications [2455-7315] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2015 that covers all major areas of animal biotechnology and publishes peer-reviewed articles that provide insight into ongoing research and recent advancements in the field. The journal also encompasses stem cell technology, infectious diseases, and probiotics as additional focus areas under its scope, promoting interdisciplinary research across biotechnology, genetics, microbiology, and veterinary sciences.
Focus & Scope
The journal welcomes contributions across the following topic areas:
- Reproductive Biotechnology: artificial insemination and embryo transfer, in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), frozen embryo transfer, and reproductive efficiency in livestock
- Animal Genetics & Genomic Selection: genetic analysis for disease and fertility traits, genomic breeding values, CRISPR and precision gene-editing technologies, crossbreeding strategies, inbreeding monitoring, and functional genomics in livestock
- Transgenic Animals & Gene Transfer Technologies: creation and characterization of transgenic animals, viral and non-viral gene transfer methods, DNA microinjection, embryonic stem cell-mediated gene transfer, and transgenic disease models
- Animal Tissue & Cell Culture: mammalian cell line development and maintenance, tissue culture techniques, cell proliferation and differentiation, and ex vivo tissue engineering applications
- Infectious Diseases & Pathogen Control: bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections in animals, disease transmission mechanisms, vaccine development, and outbreak prediction strategies
- Probiotics & Microbiome Engineering: probiotic strain selection and characterization, lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria engineering, microbiota modulation for animal health, and gut microbiome research
- Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine: induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), embryonic and somatic stem cell applications, cellular differentiation for therapeutic use, and regenerative tissue approaches in veterinary medicine
- Paratransgenesis & Vector Control: symbiont-mediated biotechnology for disease vector management, Wolbachia and gene drive systems, and arthropod-borne disease prevention
- Systems Biology & Omics Integration: genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics applied to animal phenotypes and health; bioinformatics for genetic selection
- Sustainable Animal Production: biotechnology for reducing environmental impacts (methane emissions), improving feed efficiency, and enhancing animal welfare through genetic and management innovations
- Nanotechnology in Veterinary Sciences: nanomedicine for disease diagnosis, targeted drug delivery systems, nano-based vaccines, and biosensor development for animal health monitoring
- One Health Approaches: integrated strategies addressing zoonotic disease management, animal-human health interfaces, and cross-disciplinary biotechnology solutions
