个人简介
I started my research career studying piglet suckling behaviour and examining piglet –dam interactions, sow hormonal changes during farrowing and nursing as well as piglet development and growth as affected by competition between litter mates. Since then, my research has focused on the behaviour and welfare of domestic animals, most recently of dairy cows and calves, and I have carried out and collaborated on research on pigs, beef cattle and zoo elephants. I have collaborated with research groups on four continents. My research has elucidated the motivation of sucking behaviour. For example, I showed that he performance of sucking behaviour helps stimulate the secretions of hormones involved in metabolism. My research also helped find methods of controlling abnormal sucking behaviour of dairy calves and has demonstrated improved methods of feeding and group housing calves and for weaning them off milk to help protect their welfare. I have continued investigating cow-calf interactions with studies on cow hormonal changes during milking and suckling. I have also collaborated in studies examining nursing behaviour and cow-calf rearing.
I have developed improved methods of detecting lameness in dairy cows and also shown the extent that farm animals’ fear of people can impact their welfare and productivity. Most recently, I was the leading scientist of a national research project that helped develop an on-farm welfare assessment protocol for dairy cows that is being used by the Dairy Farmers of Canada. In the last few years I have collaborated in studies of calf learning examining how to train calves to urinate and defecate in one place.
