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 - A major new 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.
