Foreword

Dear authors and readers, We are pleased to present the second issue of Croatian Veterinary Journal, marking the continuation of the long and respected tradition of Veterinarska stanica, published continuously since 1970. Since 2019, all articles have been published in English, and the new journal title further underscores our commitment to international visibility and accessibility. Beginning in 2026, under its new name, the journal plans to publish six regular issues per year. The Croatian Veterinary Journal publishes peer-reviewed scientific and professional articles in the fields of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Sciences, and Biotechnology. The journal welcomes original research papers, review articles, short communications, professional papers, case reports, conference reports, and book reviews. Our mission is to serve veterinary practitioners, researchers, and academics by providing a platform for the exchange of knowledge, supporting evidence-based practice, and fostering scientific advancement.
