Bras. é um periódico brasileiro de abrangência internacional, escrito em língua inglesa, com acesso aberto que publica pesquisas revisadas por pares com base na sua consistência, originalidade, importância, interesse interdisciplinar, atualidade, acessibilidade e conclusões pertinentes. Pesq. Vet. Bras.é publicada desde 1959. Inicialmente sob o título “Arquivos do Instituto de Biologia Animal”, possui três fascículos (1959-1961) editados pelo Instituto de Biologia Animal, órgão extinto vinculado ao Ministério de Agriculta e Pecuária. Foi descontinuada entre 1962 e 1965, porém ressurgiu em 1966 como a Série Veterinária do periódico “Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira” editada de 1966 a 1976 pelo antigo Departamento Nacional de Pesquisa e Experimentação Agropecuária (DNPEA), hoje Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa), com 11 fascículos publicados. A revista foi novamente descontinuada entre os anos de 1977 e 1980. Após a fundação do Colégio Brasileiro de Patologia Animal (CBPA), em 1978, o periódico retornou em 1981, como publicação oficial editada pelo CBPA sob o atual título “Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira” e está sendo publicada ininterruptamente desde então.
