My research group works with the agri-food sector to improve farm animal welfare, and our programme spans broiler chickens, laying hens, pigs and cattle. Much of our research in recent years has involved developing ‘bird-directed’ environmental enrichment strategies for broiler chickens, and this research has had a direct impact on farm practice in the UK. We also work in the fields of biosecurity and dairy cow lameness, and in the development of abbatoir-based and on-farm welfare measures.
