Animal science today stands as a cornerstone of food security and sustainable development, playing an indispensable role in providing animal protein, dairy products, and other livestock-derived commodities. With the growing global population and shifting consumption patterns, the need for innovation and the application of advanced technologies in this field has become more critical than ever. The journal of New Approaches in Animal Sciences (NAAS) aims to present the latest research achievements in key areas such as animal nutrition, genetics and breeding, reproductive physiology, livestock and poultry management, animal health and diseases, as well as the impacts of climate change on livestock production. This journal serves as a vital step toward advancing knowledge and technological progress in the discipline. By publishing both fundamental and applied research, this journal provides a platform for the exchange of scientific findings among researchers, specialists, and industry professionals in animal husbandry. It is hoped that the studies featured in this publication will contribute to the sustainable development of the livestock and poultry industry and enhance the quality of animal-derived products at both national and international levels.
