Research interests
My main areas of research involve using animal behaviour and other indicators to assess and understand animal welfare. More specifically my research interests are:
- Welfare assessment measures in cattle: this research involves finding reliable and practical methods for assessing welfare in on-farm conditions
- The use of precision livestock farming techiques to assess health and welfare
- Personality/behavioural traits in dairy and beef cattle: involved in a number of projects characterising personality or behavioural traits in cattle, the genetic basis for these traits and how they relate to health and welfare
- Effect of housing and management on the welfare of dairy cattle and calves
- Cognition and emotion: investigation of emotional expression of animals and recognition of those states by other animals
