Global human population forecasts of 10 billion by 2050 will raise food demand by 70% against a requirement for lower environmental impacts. England's livestock agriculture is tasked with increasing efficiency of production while reducing environmental impacts. Thus, GHG emissions must contract by 78% (2035), with a livestock industry seeking net- zero (2...

Our aim is to breed sheep with a naturally low carbon footprint to help English sheep farmers make a positive contribution to the journey towards Net Zero for UK agriculture. We are an alliance of forward-thinking sheep farmers and breeders who apply genetic science to the breeding of our sheep so that they can make the best, most efficient use of grass a...

The project brings together a multi-disciplinary consortium comprising key industry innovators in the UK lamb supply chain working with Aberystwyth University to develop a commercial system for the in-abattoir detection of contamination of carcasses by faecal and gut matter. This contamination has the potential to cause food waste through spoilage and red...

This application is for funding to support the development of a novel, portable and cost effective system for the detection of animal diseases pigs. These diseases have a significiant impact on animal health and represent a financial burden to countries worldwide. If funded, this project will deliver a magnetic sensor-based device and surveillance system ...

Visual inspection of carcasses is an important factor for ensuring the quality of meat products. However, manual inspection puts a strain on meat inspector resources, which effectively prevents detailed screening as, for example, for the purposes of health schemes. The aim of this project is to develop an automated system for visual screening at abattoir....

PROJECT TITLE: Improving the availability of UK sourced protein feed through new faba bean varieties, production and utilisation systems Summary: The shortfall in sustainable protein produced in the UK and the EU creates an opportunity to evaluate and improve an established crop with previously untapped potential. The high protein content and acceptabilit...
