Staff Profile:Dr Rachael Neal

Name:

Dr Rachael Neal

Job Title:

Lecturer in Animal Science

Responsibilities:

• Module convenor for AP2A68 Mini Placement and Professional Development for Animal Scientists, APMA114 Contemporary Issues in Animal Science, APMA115 Sustainable Livestock Production Systems
• Animals Teaching Forum Leader

Areas of Interest:

I am an enthusiastic teacher with diverse experience in teaching across the animal sciences. I have a particular interest in helping undergraduate students enhance their employability and develop strong self-reflection and self-awareness regarding career progression. At postgraduate level I am working to enhance the distance learning experience of students enrolled on our sustainable livestock modules.

From a research perspective I have a broad interest in animal production, nutrition and food chain science, in particular the composition of animal-derived foods and the role of animal nutrition in enhancing nutritional composition. Research to date has included studies of fish oil and algae to increase the very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid content of poultry meat and the subsequent impact on intakes of long-chain polyunsaturates in the UK population.
