Dr Sabrina Lomax
Sabrina is a Senior Lecturer in livestock behaviour and welfare and a lead scientist in the Livestock Production and Welfare Group at the School of Life and Environmental Sciences. Her research is focused on promoting best practice livestock production through the integration of technology and animal behaviour and welfare science.
Sabrina’s family agricultural background led to her interest in animal health and production. She completed her PhD in 2011 examining topical anaesthesia for painful livestock husbandry procedures. Her post-doctoral research examined novel methods of pain assessment and alleviation, and focused on improving the welfare of extensively farmed livestock.
- Livestock production and welfare
- Pain mitigation
- Animal behaviour and welfare science
- Best practice livestock production
- Industry and stakeholder engagement
Sabrina co-ordinates and teaches the Animal Behaviour and Welfare unit of study in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences. This unit has a focus on understanding the behavioural theories and processes, as well as the applied study of animal behaviour and welfare across wildlife, companion/performance animals and livestock.
Sabrina is the co-ordinator for the Animal and Veterinary Bioscience undergraduate Professional Experience (PE) program. This program is aimed at developing student's professional skills in a range of disciplines through work placement. Students participate in a variety of placements including on-farm, agriculture or animal-related businesses and research.
