Summary of Research:
I am veterinarian focussed on the research of animal behaviour and welfare. My current research project is focussed on lameness in dairy cattle housed in automatic milking systems. I am looking at the behaviours of lame cows that received treatment for this condition. I am interested to further our knowledge and understanding of the behaviours of animals and how this can be affected by different diseases, management and veterinary practices.
