Teresa Collins

My research focus is on applied animal welfare and ways to improve health and welfare of animals, particularly livestock. My interests lie in developing practical indicators of animal welfare, studying the behaviour of animals and involving stakeholders to make continuous improvement in management. Some of my research underpins the development of animal welfare priorities and policies (for industry and government) in both companion and production animals. I am also passionate about veterinary education and developing robust communication skills and wellbeing in students and veterinary graduates.
