Instruction for Authors

AIMS AND SCOPE

JMVM aims to publish original research results, case study and reviews on animal-related aspects of the life sciences. Emphasis will be placed on studies involving pet, exotic, livestock, and laboratory animals. Studies for the improvement of human health using animal models may also be publishable. JMVM will encompass all areas of animal production and fundamental aspects of animal sciences. JMVM is subdivided into 8 sections.- Animal Breeding and Genetics: quantitative and molecular genetics, genomics, genetic evaluation, evolution of domestic animals, and bioinformatics

  • Animal Reproduction and Physiology: physiology of reproduction, development, growth, lactation, and exercise, and gamete biology
  • Animal Nutrition: rumen microbiology and function, ruminant nutrition, physiology and metabolism, and forage utilization, non-ruminant nutrition and physiology; evaluation of feeds, feed additives, and feed processing technology
  • Animal Products: milk and meat science, muscle biology, product composition, food safety, food security, and functional foods
  • Animal Biotechnology: molecular nutrition, transgenic animals, identification and manipulation of genes
  • Animal Health: immune modulation, infection and immunity, stress responses, vaccines and therapeutics, and animal models
  • Animal Behavior and Welfare: social and sexual behavior, adaptation, and animal welfare
  • Environment and Management: livestock waste management, livestock and environment, and livestock farming systems

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION

1. General Requirements

  • The manuscript must be single-spaced in Thai Sarabun New font (size 16). All pages should be numbered consecutively in the top right hand corner, beginning with the title page.
  • The lines on all pages, including those pages for references and figure legends, must be numbered consecutively in the left margin, beginning with number one at the top of the title page. A 2.5 cm margin on both sides of the page is desirable.
  • Weights and measures must be expressed in the SI unit (metric) system and temperatures in the Celsius (centigrade) scale.
  • Tables, single-spaced, should be as few and as simple as is feasible. Each table should be on a separate sheet.
  • The legends for figures should be typed on a separate sheet. Photographs should be carefully prepared so that a clear image can be printed.
  • Manuscripts will be edited in the order received, and accepted papers will be published in the order submitted if at all possible.
  • Authors whose native language is not English are strongly encouraged to have their manuscripts proofread prior to submission.
  • Authors must declare any financial support or relationships that may pose a conflict of interest.
