Animal Biology

The ‘Animal Biology’ Research Group engages with a wide variety of fields, with the focus on research into animal production using both biological and biochemical techniques. The Group aims to optimise beef and pork production systems and therefore interacts with various stakeholders in the sector, from abattoir to consumer by way of the laboratory.
