Biography

My current research interests are around precision livestock farming (PLF), feed efficiency and methane mitigation strategies, this includes:

• Investigating the use of multi-sensor systems to remotely assess the performance of beef animals.
• Physiological monitoring of pre-weaned calves as a method of early detection of disease.
• Investigating novel diet additives as methane mitigation strategies.
• Development of proxy methods for methane measurement.
• Development and testing of multi-sensor systems to remotely assess calving.
• Assessment of electronic identification (EID) in bovine systems.
• Applications of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in forage analysis.
