Preface

The demand for scientific studies and research is increasing rapidly. Science is in a relentless race to acquire precise knowledge, ensuring nations' and societies' comfort and well-being. A nation's progress hinges on its scientific output and the achievements gained through research that addresses problems and devises solutions to overcome life's challenges and enhance quality. Scientific research is fundamental in providing the knowledge necessary for improving the conditions that ensure the survival and advancement of nations and societies.

Mastery of various scientific research methods and adherence to the necessary protocols, beginning with defining the research problem and describing it procedurally, selecting an appropriate methodology for data collection, and culminating in data analysis and drawing conclusions, has become crucial across all theoretical and applied sciences.
Therefore, the International Scientific Conference on Scientific Research and its Role in Developing Societies was established to present and discuss numerous studies and research across various scientific fields. This conference features scientific sessions and training workshops conducted by researchers and faculty members from both public and private universities and individuals passionate about scientific research worldwide. The conference aims to impact the scientific research process and elevate its quality positively.
Our third periodic and second international scientific conference is held under the theme "Applied Research and Its Role in Improving Human and Animal Health." Our goal is to promote applied scientific research to address crises and challenges related to human health and the economic issues facing countries, focusing on enhancing the national economy through major projects. These projects aim to meet local market demands for superior animal products and control diseases common to animals and humans as much as possible.
