The Journal of Veterinary and Animal Science is an academic journal dedicated to the fields of veterinary medicine and animal science. Veterinary medicine is a science that studies the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of livestock diseases. Its scope is broad, including the health and disease prevention of livestock, accompanying animals, economic wild animals, experimental animals, ornamental animals, economic insects, and fish. With the development of medical and health care, veterinary medicine has expanded to multiple fields such as zoonotic diseases, public health, and environmental protection, playing an important role in the development of agricultural production, biology, and human medicine.

The Animal Science major covers aspects such as animal genetics, breeding and reproduction, animal nutrition and feed science, aiming to cultivate high-quality composite professionals who can engage in teaching, scientific research, production, management, operation, promotion and other work in animal husbandry, veterinary medicine and related fields. This major has a long history in China, starting with the emergence of modern higher education in the early 20th century. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, through departmental adjustments, a relatively centralized and powerful discipline of animal husbandry was formed, laying the foundation for the development of animal husbandry.
