Foreword
I am honored to present the open access Bhutan Journal of Animal Science (BJAS) Volume 7, Issue 1, published online through the Open Journal Systems (OJS). I would like to welcome the readers to the pages of this journal, a space for exploring new ideas, sharing knowledge, and advancing research in various fields of livestock.

Some of the articles presented in this journal are full length research, while others are short technical communications covering topics on dairy, poultry, fishery, animal nutrition and health, all gearing towards addressing issues and challenges hindering livestock development, while targeting in enhancing the national food and nutrition security.
