4-year PhD Studentship: Multi-camera machine vision of a whole cattle herd for assessing the impact of interventions for environmental sustainability
While dairy farming is receiving increasingly strong competition from plant-based alternatives, it remains an important agricultural option where grass is the most viable crop, such as Bristol’s civic region as well as a large slice of world landmass. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Assessing welfare consequences of feed restrictions in dairy cattle: short-term, long-term and sustainability perspectives
Although freedom from hunger is a key pillar of animal welfare, feed restrictions are common on most farms. For instance, on dairy farms, pre-weaned calves are typically fed less than 50% of ad libitum consumption (4-6L of milk when they would drink up to 16L[1]). Read more
Ubiquitin-like modifications underlying Cell Differentiation and Biology in Trypanosomes
Post-translational protein modifications are major regulators of eukaryotic cell functions and include modifications by attachment of polypeptides such as ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLs). Read more
Understanding the role of livestock management on invertebrate communities of wet pastures
The supervisory team comprises. Glyn Barrett (School of Biological Sciences at the University of Reading), Robin Buxton (Patsy Wood Trust) and Ben Woodcock (Centre for Ecology and Hydrology). Read more
Fungal biosynthesis of compounds for enteric methane mitigation
Thirty-five percent of New Zealand’s gross greenhouse gas emissions are a result of methane production in our grazing sheep and cattle. Read more
Prevalence, etiology, control and prevention of clinical mastitis and associated antimicrobial use
The School of Veterinary Medicine and Science (SVMS) undertakes research on many key aspects of companion animals and livestock health and production. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast - Nutritional programming in replacement dairy heifers: Future-proofing herd performance, health and behaviour
Project background. The lifetime performance of a dairy calf is impacted by its health, nutrition and environment, with a sub optimal position in any of these factors affecting the animal’s ability to achieve its genetic potential. Read more
PROACTIVE: Profitable, productive, socially responsible trajectories towards farms with net-zero emissions
About the research project. Urgent, deep and sustained cuts to global greenhouse gas emissions are needed if catastrophic events associated with anthropogenic climate change are to be averted. Read more
Identification and characterisation of bacteriocins from environmental samples active against strains of Clostridium difficile.
Clostridiodes difficile is a cause of neonatal enteritis in livestock such as pigs, cattle and horses. Affected animals develop respiratory problems, abdominal distention and bloody diarrhoea leading to weight loss and in extreme cases mortality. Read more
Screening of chemical libraries using iPS models for investigating the role of prion protein in Alzheimer’s disease
Background. AD has been identified as a protein misfolding disease (proteopathy). The disease is caused by accumulation of two major amyloids. Read more
