《英國家禽科學》自1960年創(chuàng)刊以來，一直是面向全球家禽科學家和家禽產業(yè)顧問的領先國際期刊。超過60%的獨立參考論文發(fā)表在英國以外。最典型的是，他們用實驗方法報告生物學研究的結果，這種方法要么對基礎科學做出了最初的貢獻，要么對該行業(yè)具有明顯的應用價值。課程包括:解剖學、胚胎學、生物化學、生物物理學、生理學、生殖及遺傳學、行為學、微生物學、內分泌學、營養(yǎng)學、環(huán)境科學、食品科學、飼料及飼養(yǎng)、管理及房屋福利、育種、孵化、禽肉及禽蛋產量及品質。采用建模方法或描述與行業(yè)直接相關的新設備或儀器的科學背景的論文也會發(fā)表。該雜志還以快速發(fā)表簡短通訊為特色。在世界家禽產品安全計劃英國分會春季會議上發(fā)表的論文摘要發(fā)表在《英國家禽文摘》上。

From its first volume in 1960, British Poultry Science has been a leading international journal for poultry scientists and advisers to the poultry industry throughout the world. Over 60% of the independently refereed papers published originate outside the UK. Most typically they report the results of biological studies with an experimental approach which either make an original contribution to fundamental science or are of obvious application to the industry. Subjects which are covered include: anatomy, embryology, biochemistry, biophysics, physiology, reproduction and genetics, behaviour, microbiology, endocrinology, nutrition, environmental science, food science, feeding stuffs and feeding, management and housing welfare, breeding, hatching, poultry meat and egg yields and quality.Papers that adopt a modelling approach or describe the scientific background to new equipment or apparatus directly relevant to the industry are also published. The journal also features rapid publication of Short Communications. Summaries of papers presented at the Spring Meeting of the UK Branch of the WPSA are published in British Poultry Abstracts .
