Cattle and sheep research

Meet the teams working on research involving cattle and sheep.

Our researchers work across a range of disciplines related to livestock health, management and welfare. In addition to their research, many of them also offer consultancy and other services.

  • Parasitology @ Melbourne

    Our researchers study a variety of socio-economically important parasites, with a goal to understand them and the diseases that they cause, so that we can develop effective treatments, vaccines, diagnostic tests and strategies for effective control.

  • Veterinary Epidemiology @ Melbourne

    The veterinary epidemiology group aims to generate new knowledge and techniques that can lead to improvements in animal health, with an emphasis on identifying emerging areas of inquiry, particularly those that cross disciplinary boundaries.

  • Asia-Pacific Centre for Animal Health

    The Asia Pacific Centre for Animal Health (APCAH) is an internationally focused research and research training centre that aims to optimise animal production and product quality through improved control of infectious agents.

  • Animal Welfare Science Centre

    We contribute to improved animal welfare as a world-leading provider of expert information, advice and education underpinned by rigorous research.

  • The Mackinnon Project

    The Mackinnon Project is an international leader in sheep and beef consultancy offering a unique range of services including farm management consultancies, farmer training programs, contract research and post graduate training programs.

  • Veterinary Pathology

    The Veterinary Pathology group in the Melbourne Veterinary School combines diagnostic services and anatomic pathology research with teaching in our Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

  • Bone and Muscle Cell Biology

    The Laboratory for Bone and Muscle Cell Biology studies regulation of the behaviour of bone, cartilage and muscle cells during development, regeneration and pathology.
