British Society of Animal Science (BSAS) is a learned society in the field of animal science, established in 1944 as the British Society of Animal Production.[1]

Mike Steele is the Chief Executive, and the President is Sinclair Mayne.[2] Geoff Simm was the president in 2007 and 2008.[3][4]

Publications

The first Proceedings was published in 1951.ISSN 0369-8521 The editors soon started accepting papers on animal production.[5]

In 1959 the society established a dedicated journal, Animal Production, for this purpose. It was published in three issues per year in 1961, and four issues per year in 1971.[5]

In 1995, the society was renamed, and the journal retitled to Animal Science.[5]

A partnership with Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) and European Federation for Animal Science publish the journal Animal: An International Journal of Animal Bioscience. The journal is a merge of three journals including the BSAS journal Animal Science, which was published six times a year.
