Animal Welfare

Animal Welfare is a priority for livestock industries, with the Ruminant Research Group undertaking a number of projects in this area.

Animal welfare projects

Impact of stocking density on sheep welfare under live export conditions

UNE PhD student Bonnie Mayes explores the role stocking density plays on the welfare of animals during export.
Virtual fencing - implications for sheep welfare

UNE PhD student Tellisa Kearton investigates the welfare impact of new virtual fencing technologies in sheep.
Remote temperature monitoring in sheep

The remote measurement of body temperature as a measure of health and welfare in sheep, part of Tellisa Kearton's Master of Rural Science project.

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.
