Using stem cell-derived “mini-guts” to determine the role of the microbiota in resistance to Cryptosporidium infection in cattle

University of Liverpool
Institute of Integrative Biology

Dr J Coombes

Application Deadline: 11 January 2019

Cryptosporidium parvum causes acute diarrhoea in young calves, which can be fatal. Infection is common, and carries significant economic and welfare costs.

Aetiopathogenesis and genomic architecture of resistance to claw horn disruption lesions in dairy cattle

University of Liverpool
Institute of Veterinary Science

Prof G Oikonomou

Application Deadline: 11 January 2019

Maintaining good foot health is one of the most critical challenges the dairy industry faces today. This is because poor foot health leads to reduced mobility of the animal and causes lameness.

Measuring the seasonally changing condition of ungulates in temperate and semi-desert environments

Durham University
Department of Biosciences

Dr S G Willis, Dr P Stephens

Application Deadline: 11 January 2019

Background. The body condition of individuals is a major determinant of which animals breed in a population, and of the likelihood of a population thriving or declining, yet studies on condition in wild species are rare.

How does the one-humped Arabian camel survive in the desert without drinking?

University of Bristol
Faculty of Health Sciences

Prof D Murphy, Dr M Greenwood

Applications accepted all year round

Whilst water balance is aggressively defended in all mammals, this is all the more so in the one-humped Arabian camel, which has a remarkable capacity to thrive in the hot, arid conditions of the Arabian deserts (1), and to survive extended periods of dehydration (2).

Links between animal behaviour, health and welfare

University of Bristol
Faculty of Health Sciences

Dr SDE Held

Applications accepted all year round

An animal’s behaviour both causes and reflects changes in its health and welfare. The biological processes underlying these relationships are increasingly well understood in humans.
