THRIVING IN DIVERSE ENVIRONMENTS: Optimized Innovations and Resilience in Livestock-Wildlife interactions

55th Annual SASAS Congress

8 – 10 July 2025 | Protea Hotel, The Ranch, Polokwane

FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Dear SASAS members,

We are happy to announce that the South African Journal of Animal Science now has its own LinkedIn and Facebook pages, and we would like to encourage all SASAS members to like and follow these pages, to remain up to date with the journal’s publications. Any changes in policies, processes, or publishing fees will also be announced on these pages.

Please also remember to download and check the latest versions of the Instructions to Authors and journal template prior to submitting a manuscript, as a new policy on preprints has been added, and minor changes in reference list formatting have been made.

All sub-editors and reviewers are requested to update their contact details and their directory of expertise via the SAJAS online journal management system at their earliest convenience, as we are still experiencing problems contacting some reviewers.

Thank you, and have a lovely long weekend!
