Agriculture is particularly exposed to climate change, which threatens global food security. To date, climate change impact assessments on future food availability have focussed primarily on crop production. Projections of climate change impacts on livestock are relatively rare, with productivity gains and losses yet to be fully quantified. This thesis aimed to quantify and project the impacts of

Cats have had a long association with humans, in which they have undergone some natural and artificial evolutionary selection. However, despite this long history with humans, cats are regarded as semi-domesticated, having the ability to revert back to their wild state and survive without humans’ intervention. Cats are a truly unique species, with an interesting relationship with humans. This thesi

Automatic milking systems (AMS) may benefit both cows and farmers if appropriately implemented. Effective implementation is dependent on the voluntary behaviour of the cow as these systems require cows to visit the milking unit voluntarily. Low voluntary milking behaviour, therefore, is a concern within these systems. Understanding what motivates a cow to visiting the milking robot is an area of p

Human activity is driving global biodiversity loss. However, the effects on animal cognition and emotion are less studied. In this thesis, I argue that anthropogenic change impacts animals’ mental states, with implications for both individuals (welfare) and populations (conservation). My first experiment explores the transition from keeping dairy cattle at pasture to housing them indoors full-time

This thesis investigated how nutrition influences behaviour, stress physiology, and welfare in domesticated animals through the gut microbiome. The work was guided by a novel conceptual framework, the microbiota-gut-brain-nutrition axis (MGBNA), and applied integrated methodologies including shotgun metagenomics, behavioural testing, and physiological stress markers across three distinct animal st

Background<p>Fitness for transport decisions are essential for safeguarding livestock welfare, yet the UK’s current legislation leaves room for subjective judgement. Previous studies indicate that farmers often lack confidence when assessing borderline cases, and although emergency slaughter provides an option for animals unfit for transport, eligibility is narrow and access is limited.

Dairy cows transitioning to automatic milking systems (AMS) must learn to visit the unit voluntarily; cows that fail to do so must be fetched repeatedly, increasing the risk of negative human-animal interactions. Delayed visits also carry welfare consequences, including udder engorgement and reduced lying and feeding times. Understanding why some cows adapt poorly, and whether they can be identifi

Biotechnologies are being developed in animal agriculture to address societal concerns related to disease, resistance to antimicrobials, and sustainability. Understanding public acceptance of these technologies and views about food produced using them is essential to inform technology development.

The aim of this study was to describe how benchmarking influenced farmer perceptions of weaning performance and their decisions regarding calf management. Thirteen dairy farms from British Columbia, Canada were recruited through a veterinary clinic.

The aim this longitudinal study was to describe calf growth through weaning on commercial dairy farms. Twelve commercial dairy farms in British Columbia, Canada, were visited weekly for approximately 12 mo. Heart-girth measurements were used to estimate BW of 1,534 Holstein replacement heifers from approximately 1 wk of age through to 3 wk after weaning. Reports summarizing calf performance were p
