Areas of expertise |
I have over 30 years experience of poultry welfare, which I evaluate by measuring their environment in house and during transport and by observing their behavioural responses. I also work with other farm animals and am active in knowledge transfer to farmers and others.

Media experience |
I have written numerous illustrated articles for trade (farming) journals and specialise in covering conferences and making scientific findings accessible to non specialists.
