Personal profile
Research interests
My research interests focus in the area of ruminant (beef and sheep) systems. More specifically:
• Measurement of GHG emissions from beef and sheep systems (housed and grazing).
• Development and validation of proxy measures of GHGs from ruminants.
• Mitigation strategies for GHG emissions from ruminant production.
• Development of technologies for continuous, automated and real-time monitoring of animals on-farm, including monitoring of GHG emissions.
• Development of animal mounted sensors (new sensors and novel uses for sensors on the market),
• Prediction of slaughter characteristics in live animals to increase production efficiency/profitability.
• Development of improved nutrition models for use in the beef industry to improve efficiency.
