International Journal of Zoology and Applied Biosciences 

International Journal of Zoology and Applied Biosciences (IJZAB) is an international, open access and peer reviewed online UGC Approved Journal with Sl. No. 3116, Journal No. 46511 and ISSN: 24559571IJZAB aims to publish the novel, scientific quality, well written and concise results of original research and review articles in the latest fields of Zoology and Applied Biosciences. The journal is published bimonthly by Rishan Publications.  

The goal of IJZAB is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of Zoology and Applied Biosciences. IJZAB provides a platform to contribute and disseminate the knowledge of research for people like post graduate students, doctorate scholars, faculty members, scientist involved in active research in colleges, Universities and research institutes in both national and international level.
