Aims and Scope

EJRS journal publishes the best, innovative and cutting-edge science that relates to rabbits (farmed or managed) used for animal production, and that is relevant to whole rabbit outcomes, and/or to rabbit management practices. Papers can be accepted from all species if they are in, or contribute knowledge to, rabbit production systems. EJRS is essential reading for all rabbit scientists, stakeholders and policy makers interested in agricultural, biomedical, veterinary and environmental sciences with expected impacts on Rabbit Production and Productivity, Rabbit Welfare, Rabbit Health, Food Security, Environment, Climate Change, Product Quality, Human Health and Nutrition, and Sustainability of Rabbit Agriculture and Livestock Systems. Impacts should be of international relevance. EJRS aims to publish novel and original research papers, horizon-scanning reviews and critically informative opinion papers. Papers should consider rabbit responses, as well as lower or upper levels of understanding, with research spanning from genes to systems. Interactions between levels of approach are encouraged to account for the integrative nature of biological systems. The main subject areas include: breeding and genetics; nutrition; physiology and functional biology; welfare, behaviour and health management (welfare and behaviour; health management); rabbit farming systems; quality of rabbit products.
