DrAlice Shirley

Alice's research interests centre on livestock production and welfare, with a strong emphasis on animal behaviour and welfare science to support sustainable, productive, and profitable livestock enterprises. She is particularly interested in the integration of advanced technologies to inform best practice in precision livestock management. Her work explores how on-animal monitoring systems and data-driven approaches can be used to improve individual animal welfare, optimise production outcomes, and enhance enterprise sustainability. A key focus of Alice's research is industry-engaged, applied science that supports practical decision-making and meaningful collaboration with producers and other stakeholders.
