About
Registered animal scientist accredited by the British & Irish Society of Animal Science and Reader in Animal Science and Bioinformatics, Stephen leads the Livestock Research Team within the Agriculture and Environment Department at Harper Adams University. Stephen is also an AMTRA qualified animal medicines advisor (all species), with a background in agriculture and specialist interests in animal health and non-ruminant nutrition. Research interests include non-ruminant health and nutrition. In particular, the biological mechanisms underpinning the interactions between the gut microbiota, enzymes, minerals and macro nutrients on immunology and gene expression.
