Journal Article
Bergoug, H., Guinebretiere, M., Tong, Q., Roulston, N., Romanini, C. E. B., Exadaktylos, V., …Michel, V. (2013). Effect of transportation duration of 1-day-old chicks on postplacement production performances and pododermatitis of broilers up to slaughter age. Poultry Science, 92(12), 3300-3309. https://doi.org/10.3382/ps.2013-03118

This experiment studied the effect of transportation duration of 1-d-old chicks on dehydration, mortality, production performance, and pododermatitis during the growout period. Eggs from the same breeder flock (Ross PM3) were collected at 35, 45, and...

Bio-inspired swing leg control for spring-mass robots running on ground with unexpected height disturbance (2013)
Journal Article
Vejdani, H. R., Blum, Y., Daley, M. A., & Hurst, J. W. (2013). Bio-inspired swing leg control for spring-mass robots running on ground with unexpected height disturbance. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3182/8/4/046006

We proposed three swing leg control policies for spring-mass running robots, inspired by experimental data from our recent collaborative work on ground running birds. Previous investigations suggest that animals may prioritize injury avoidance and/or...

A qualitative risk assessment for visual-only post-mortem meat inspection of cattle, sheep, goats and farmed/wild deer (2013)
Journal Article
Hill, A. A., Horigan, V., Clarke, K. A., Dewe, T. C. M., Staerk, K. D. C., O'Brien, S. J., & Buncic, S. (2013). A qualitative risk assessment for visual-only post-mortem meat inspection of cattle, sheep, goats and farmed/wild deer. Food Control, 38, 96-103. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodcont.2013.10.002

The UK Food Standards Agency is currently funding research to build the evidence base for the modernisation of meat inspection. This includes an assessment of the risks to public health and animal health/welfare of moving to a visual-only post-mortem...

Biomechanics and energetics of walking on uneven terrain (2013)
Journal Article
Voloshina, A. S., Kuo, A. D., Daley, M. A., & Ferris, D. P. (2013). Biomechanics and energetics of walking on uneven terrain. Journal of Experimental Biology, 216(21), 3963-3970. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.081711

Walking on uneven terrain is more energetically costly than walking on smooth ground, but the biomechanical factors that contribute to this increase are unknown. To identify possible factors, we constructed an uneven terrain treadmill that allowed us... Read More about Biomechanics and energetics of walking on uneven terrain.

Longevity and mortality of owned dogs in England (2013)
Journal Article
