FULLY FUNDED PHD: Exploration of risk posed by ruminant associated Coxiella burnetii to GB livestock and human health
TO APPLY, CLICK 'INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. BACKGROUND INFO. Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular gram-negative bacteria and aetiological agent of Q fever in ruminant livestock and humans. Read more
Using artificial intelligence and machine vision for real time identification and prediction of aggressive behaviour in livestock
Currently health and welfare assessment are done by trained assessors and as a result is time and labour consuming. This process can also be subjective, and it is sometimes questionable if the auditor is measuring animals under normal farm conditions. Read more
Risk of veterinary diclofenac and other veterinary pharmaceuticals to South American avian scavengers
Avian scavengers provide important ecosystem services, including the consumption of animal carcasses that otherwise would remain in the environment. Read more
Assessing the impacts of wildlife and livestock on southern hemisphere Atlantic Island peatlands
Peatlands are the most important terrestrial carbon store globally and they could act as carbon sinks when either in pristine condition or restored. Read more

Multispecies grasslands: Is this the solution to climate change and sustainable ruminant production systems?
The overall objective of Re-Livestock is to evaluate and mobilize the adoption of innovative practices applied cross-scale (animal, herd, farm, sector and region) to reduce GHG emissions from livestock farming systems and increase their capacity to deal with potential climate change impacts.

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
Rational microbial-based interventions against bacterial enteric diseases in young livestock.
Neonatal calves and piglets are susceptible to a range of enteric bacterial infections including neonatal scour caused by Salmonella spp. Read more
Cracking the code of snails to elucidate parasite disease transmission
Call for PhD students in Snail Taxonomy, Genomics, and Host:Parasite Interact ions. Want to help resolve the taxonomy of Australian freshwater snails and assess their ability to transmit parasites to Australian livestock?. Read more
Assessing the role of colostrum microbiome properties and early life nutrition management in the acquisition of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in dairy stock
This project aims to study the relationship between colostrum microbiome properties, early life nutrition management and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) development in pre-weaned calves. Read more
Algae Feedstock for Food Security
There is an urgent need to find innovative and sustainable solutions to meet the demands of feeding the growing global population. Read more
Development of novel, sustainable and antibiotic-free antimicrobial strategies to control pathogens with zoonotic potential at the interface of wild birds and humans.
An opportunity to apply for a funded full-time PhD in the College of Health, Science and Society at the University of the West of England, Bristol. The studentship will be funded by the University of the West of England, Bristol and external organisations . Read more
Emerging Fraud Challenges against Alternative Proteins
The many challenges relating to environmental sustainability and climate change are major global concerns. Read more
Plant-Based Meat Alternative Supply Chains: Mapping the Sustainability Impact
The global food system, contributing up to 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, is a prominent factor of biodiversity loss. Within the food ecosystem, meat production is a leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions, tying up over 25% of usable land for livestock grazing (FAO, 2021). Read more
Protein structure-function analyses of proteins essential for intracellular survival of tick-borne bacteria
Anaplasma are tick-borne pathogens that cause disease in a wide range of different host organisms and have massive impacts on global livestock industries. Read more
Propensity to play as a measure of welfare in dairy cows
Supervisors. Dr Suzanne Held (primary supervisor), Dr Ben Lecorps. Dairy cattle are commonly subjected to stressors (e.g. dehorning, regrouping) as part of routine farm procedures. Read more
