The Phase 2: Collaborative Research and Development project funding aims to enable research and innovate partnerships that progress challenges associated with endemic disease in livestock.
£7.35million has been invested into the Phase 2: CR&D projects to enable co-investment and collaboration between academic researchers, farmers and businesses to reduce overall levels and impact of endemic livestock diseases on the UK livestock sector.
The 14 Phase 2: CR&D projects are:
Precision solutions for controlling fasciolosis in sheep.
Forestry by-products as novel therapeutics for parasite control in livestock
Delivery of rapid diagnostic tests for sustainable control of parasitic diseases in sheep and cattle
Genetic and management solutions for lameness-associated endemic diseases in dairy cattle
Protecting pigs from enzootic pneumonia: Rational design of safe attenuated vaccines
AI to monitor changes in social behaviour for the early detection of disease in dairy cattle
COADAPT: Adaptive management of endemic coinfections in ruminant livestock under climate change
