Conflict of Interest Policy

Veterinary and Zootechnical Sciences (VZS) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency, integrity, and objectivity throughout the publication process.

All authors, editors, and reviewers are expected to disclose any financial, personal, professional, institutional, or other relationships that could influence, or be perceived to influence, the preparation, review, or publication of a manuscript.

Authors must declare any potential conflicts of interest at the time of manuscript submission. If no conflict of interest exists, authors should state: "The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest."

Editors and reviewers must recuse themselves from handling manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest or any relationship that may compromise their impartiality.

The Editorial Office will evaluate disclosed conflicts of interest and take appropriate measures to ensure a fair, unbiased, and transparent editorial process.
