Research Interests

One of my research interests is in the management of grazing and intensively housed farm animals. My most recent research in this area has focused on the feeding behaviour of farm animals and the interface between plant and animals including plant species and food choices and spatial distribution. Such studies should help to identify methods to allow manipulation of grazing animal distribution and prevention of behaviours that may have adverse effects on farm resources such as riparian zones, water quality, nutrient distribution etc.

Speciality Area/s:

Animal Behaviour
Reproductive physiology and lactation
Agricultural Systems

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
