Background

 

Research

The overall theme of my research is the consequences of animal management on their performance, ability to cope with pathogens and environmental impact. 

Specific research questions include:

1. Prediction of animal responses to their management, including feeding and exposure to pathogens

2. Opportunities to improve nutrient utilisation efficiency in livestock, through genetic selection and management

3. Competition for limiting resources between productive and functional traits in animals

4. The occurrence and significance of pathogen induced anorexia.

5. Mitigation of the environmental impact of livestock systems through management.

I am addressing these questions across animals, both livestock and laboratory.
