Mayabeque, Cuba: Researchers from the Animal Science Institute (ICA) make important contributions to the generation and application of the new knowledge of livestock and agriculture on technical and innovative bases to contribute to the progress of the country.
For this reason, the group of authors and members of the Editorial Committee of the Cuban Journal of Agricultural Science was recognized on the 55th anniversary of this publication as a source of consultation in more than 160 nations.
