AI Is Taking Over Vet Med—And BMC Wants Your Research

Artificial intelligence isn’t just transforming human healthcare—it’s shaking up veterinary medicine too. From supercharged diagnostics to smart practice management, AI is becoming a game-changer for animal care. And now, BMC Veterinary Research is putting out the call for researchers to help define what comes next.

The journal has launched a new article collection titled “Artificial Intelligence: Applications in Veterinary Medicine,”and submissions are officially open. Guest edited by Dr. Giovanni Pietro Burrai (University of Sassari, Italy) and Dr. Simon Castillo (MD Anderson Cancer Center, USA), the collection aims to highlight cutting-edge research at the intersection of AI and veterinary science.

Whether it’s machine learning models that detect disease earlier, deep learning tools for image interpretation, or natural language processing to streamline records and workflows, the possibilities are expanding fast. This call for papers invites both fundamental and clinical research that explores AI's real and potential impact across species and specialties.

With applications ranging from real-time monitoring to predictive analytics, the integration of AI could reshape how veterinarians diagnose, treat, and manage health at every level. The deadline for submission is February 9, 2026, and early contributions will set the tone for how this technology will drive veterinary innovation in the years ahead.

If you’re working on AI in vet med—or want to be at the forefront—this is your moment.
