CONTENT OF MANUSCRIPTS 

1. Article Title:  

A title of not more than fourteen words should be provided. The title must contain both a descriptive and concise title of the paper. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible. Each word of the title should be started with capitalized letter where appropriate.

2. Name of Author details:

Should be arranged in the correct order for publication. The affiliation and correct email addresses should be supplied and listed where they were based at the time that research for the paper was conducted. 

3. Abstract

Must be written in English, in single paragraph and no more than 250 words.  Abstracts contain clear statement of introduction, purpose, design/methodology/approach, results, research implications, practical/social implications (if applicable) with no references cited.  

4. Key words should be written in no more than 5 (five) words or phrases. 
5. Introduction describes a brief background of the research, novelty, state of the arts, and objective(s) of the work. It should be written efficiently and supported by references, avoiding extensive discussion of a detailed literatures survey, a summary, and the results.

6. Materials and Methods  
7. It should be written clearly and completely containing a clear description of biological, analytical, and statistical procedures; so they can be repeated by other researchers.  References of original methods/procedures must be stated and all modifications of procedures (if any) should be explained. Diets and animal conditions (breed, sex, age, body weight, and weighing conditions [i.e., with or without restriction of feed and (or) water]) should be described clearly and fully. 
8. Authors should state clearly information of commercial product and equipment used in the research, such as commercial name, product/equipment specification, city, and country.
9. Appropriate statistical methods should be used, although the biological mechanism should be emphasized. The statistical model, classes, blocks, and experimental unit must be designated. Consultation with a statistician is recommended to prevent any incorrect or inadequate statistical methods.

7. Results  
8. Data should be presented in tables or figures when feasible. There should be no duplication of data in tables and figures. Sufficient and comprehensive data followed with some index of variation (e.g., SD, SE, etc.).

9. The text should explain or elaborate the tabular data, but numbers should not be repeated extensively within the text. 

8. Discussion should be consistent and should interpret the results clearly and concisely.  The address of biological mechanism and their significance should be supported by suitable literatures.  The discussion should show the relevance between the results and the field of investigation and or hypotheses.
