Animal Health and Disease

Our Research

Animals are under constant pressures from disease, the environment, and human activity. When animals are unable to overcome these pressures, their welfare suffers. For owners, this is upsetting and for farmers, this may impact profits and increase environmental impacts.

At Lincoln, we are passionate about improving the health of companion, farmed, and wild animals of all types. We are particularly interested in infectious diseases and our team includes specialists in virology, bacteriology, and parasitology. Malaria, influenza, herpesvirus, and E. coli, are just some of the many diseases that we are currently researching. Our other focuses include livestock lameness, stress, and ruminant nutrition.

We are an internationally active group and are keen to improve the health and animals worldwide, especially through collaborating with universities in developing nations to support their research and the communities that benefit from that.
