Biography

Dr Amy Moss is a postdoctoral fellow researching nutritional strategies to improve the efficiency and sustainability of chicken-meat production.

In Australia, 664 million chickens are grown annually to satisfy the large per capita consumption of 48.6 kilograms of chicken meat per person in 2018. Poultry feed accounts for 70% of production cost and remains an important avenue to improve the efficiency of chicken-meat production; reducing the inputs required and therefore lessening the environmental footprint.

To enhance the efficiency and sustainability of chicken meat production, Dr Moss’ areas of interest include precision nutrition, feed formulation and food waste. Dr. Moss’ current research projects include her DECRA project exploring food waste for broiler chickens and innovative methodologies.

Dr. Moss has gained recognition both nationally and internationally as an early career researcher in poultry nutrition with over 3.1 million in grant funding, 70 scientific communications and an h-index of 21.

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.
