Acknowledging the Past Editors of SAJAS
The South African Journal of Animal Science (SAJAS) has long stood as a leading platform for the dissemination of high-quality research in animal science, both within South Africa and internationally. This success is due in large part to the dedication, expertise, and vision of the journal’s past editors.
Over the years, these individuals have generously devoted their time and energy to upholding the scholarly integrity of SAJAS, and ensuring the consistent quality, relevance, and impact of its publications. Their commitment to rigorous peer review, editorial excellence, and scientific advancement has shaped SAJAS into the respected publication it is today.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the past editors of SAJAS, whose contributions have not only advanced the journal but also supported and strengthened the broader animal science community.
