We have 14 Livestock Farming PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students in Reading
Project at University of Surrey: Future-proofing livestock health by quantifying the burden of disease and benefits of sustainable interventions
Parasitic worms (helminths) have been infecting humans and animals for a very long time, causing disease, loss of productivity and, in some cases, death. Read more
Project at University of Lincoln: Using AI to manage multi-species grassland for livestock farming
Producing plant matter for animal food is important for livestock farming, both for grazing and for making silage. This is typically done by growing fields of rye grass. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: AI-Based Acoustic Monitoring in Turkey Poults for Productivity, Health and Welfare
As global demand for poultry continues to grow, there is an increasing need for sustainable, efficient, and welfare-focused farming methods. Read more
TB or not TB – developing the next generation technology for rapid bovine tuberculosis detection
This project will investigate and validate a novel method for rapid and cost-effective analysis of animal (livestock) diseases, focused on bovine tuberculosis. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: AI Powered Multi-modal Approaches for Animal Behaviour Analysis and Welfare Monitoring using Unannotated Data
As the global population grows, so does the demand for affordable, high-quality meat, while consumers increasingly emphasise animal welfare. Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: Protein-protein interactions for control of the ruminant parasite the liver fluke
Parasitic worms are responsible for >55% of livestock diseases threatening global food security. Infection from the parasitic liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, has a negative impact on livestock production and welfare. Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: Chronobiological changes in behaviour, development and immunity of salmon lice larvae (ChronoLice)
Background. The exciting PhD research project will help us understand the biology of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis), a pervasive and damaging fish parasite that causes substantial animal welfare, environmental and economic damage by impacting aquaculture of salmon. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: VIROWORM: Characterising the Interplay between Parasitic Nematodes, Viruses and their Hosts
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the spectre of panzootic highly pathogenic avian influenza, the understanding of infectious diseases (including “macro”pathogenic nematode (roundworm) parasites and “micro”pathogenic viruses) is critical as they undermine human and animal health, productivity, and food security. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Rethinking Animal Farming for Healthy Diets and a Healthy Planet
Foods like meat, milk, and eggs are a big part of many people’s diets. They provide protein and important nutrients that help us stay healthy. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Climate-Friendly Beef: Long-Term Assessment of Methane Inhibitors
Livestock contributes 30% of methane released into the atmosphere, more than any other single source. The UK Committee on Climate Change (2020) has recommended a 64% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, as necessary, to meet the 2050 targets. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Exploring the North Ronaldsay Sheep Microbiome: Unlocking Enzymes for Sustainable Agriculture and Biotechnology
Microalgae or seaweed-based livestock feed has shown promise in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Read more
Project at University of Reading: AI-based discovery of methane mitigation additives for ruminants
Methane emissions from ruminants, such as cattle and sheep, are a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 44% of human-made methane. Read more
Project at University of Reading: Novel transition pathways to regenerative agriculture
Current food production systems are major contributors to climate change and biodiversity loss. To create a sustainable future, farming practices must adapt to enhance nature, reduce environmental impact, and ensure resilient food supply chains. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: Developing Phage Therapy to Combat Drug-Resistant Poultry Pathogens
The University of Surrey, in collaboration with Queen’s University Belfast is offering an exciting PhD opportunity aiming to revolutionise how we combat bacterial infections in poultry. Read more
