Veterinary research
SRUC's veterinary research covers many areas including animal behaviour & welfare, genetics & genomics and disease & epidemiology.
Animal behaviour & welfare
Animal behaviour and welfare are major areas of public concern as production systems change and the ethics of food production become more important.

Genetics & genomics
The intellectual and practical challenge in sustainable agricultural production is to link genetic variation with traits of interest.

Disease & epidemiology
Our research aims to provide a detailed understanding of the biology driving disease persistence, prevalence, and spread, and explores how the biology scales up from individuals to populations, in plants, animals and humans.
