The Journal of Animal Science (JAS) is the premier journal for animal science and serves as the leading source of new knowledge and perspective in this area. JAS publishes more than 500 fully reviewed research articles, invited reviews, technical notes, and letters to the editor each year. Articles published in JAS encompass a broad range of research topics in animal production and fundamental aspects of genetics, nutrition, physiology, and preparation and utilization of animal products. Articles typically report research with beef cattle, companion animals, goats, horses, pigs, and sheep; however, studies involving other farm animals, aquatic and wildlife species, and laboratory animal species that address fundamental questions related to livestock and companion animal biology will be considered for publication.

《動物科學雜志》(JAS)是動物科學的首要期刊，是該領域新知識和新觀點的主要來源。JAS每年出版超過500篇經過全面評審的研究論文、邀請評審、技術說明和給編輯的信件。在JAS上發表的文章涵蓋了動物生產的廣泛研究主題和遺傳學、營養學、生理學、動物產品的制備和利用的基本方面。文章典型地報道了對肉牛、同伴動物、山羊、馬、豬和綿羊的研究;不過，將考慮發表涉及其他農場動物、水生和野生動物物種以及實驗室動物物種的研究，這些研究涉及與家畜和伴生動物生物學有關的基本問題。
