The Research and Construction journal was first published in the fall of 1988 under the title Livestock Affairs Journal by the Livestock and Aquatic Affairs Committee of the Ministry of Jihad. From issue 5 onward, following the merger of the Agriculture, Animal, and Aquatic Affairs Committees, it was renamed Agriculture and Livestock Journal.
Beginning with issue 12, after the Ministry of Jihad’s Deputy for Education and Research assumed responsibility, the journal adopted the title Research and Construction. Between issues 50 and 81, it covered three subject areas: livestock affairs, natural resources, and agriculture and horticulture. From issues 82 to 115, the scope expanded to four fields: veterinary medicine, animal science, watershed management, and agriculture.
Since issue 116 (autumn 2016), the journal has been published under its current title, Veterinary Research and Biological Products.
