Research Groups

Research strengths in the Faculty are concentrated in the areas of production animal research (especially pigs, poultry, cattle and sheep), immunopathology, reproduction and genetics, companion animal medicine and behaviour, wildlife conservation biology and performance research in horses.

With both city and rural campuses the Faculty is well-placed to provide the infrastructure required to pursue research in a range of species from basic cell and molecular biology to individual animal research models, and to the broader issues of herd and flock health management, animal behaviour and the constraints on animal health and production imposed by commercial management systems.
