Research interests

My research addresses fundamental, welfare-relevant questions of animal behaviour and cognition.  I am interested in why domestic animals do what they do, and what implications this has for their welfare, health, productivity and management.

Current projects are on detectable behavioural changes during subclinical inflammation and on play as improving as well indicating welfare.
