This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of research on information risks and supply chain risk management, focusing on insights relevant to the cattle supply chain in Malaysia. Data were collected from Scopus for 2020–2025, resulting in 451 documents analyzed using bibliometric mapping tools. The results show a rising trend in publication output, peaking in 2024, which reflects the growing academic and industry attention to supply chain resilience. The research field is interdisciplinary, with the most substantial contributions from business, engineering, and computer science, while agriculture and veterinary sciences remain less represented, signaling a notable gap. Journal articles dominate the publication types, complemented by conference papers and book chapters, emphasizing peer-reviewed knowledge dissemination. Keyword analysis highlights resilience, sustainability, and digital transformation as central themes, with emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics as key approaches for mitigating risks. Regarding geographic distribution, China, India, and the United States are leading contributors, while Malaysia shows modest but increasing participation through regional collaborations. Overall, the analysis maps global research trends and underlines the need for a stronger focus on agriculture and livestock sectors to enhance food security and supply chain sustainability.
