Amy Tait

Amy Tait lectures in Animal Science at UNE with research focus on livestock welfare during live export. Her PhD investigated heat stress alleviation in export cattle, and she currently leads a four-year project improving welfare standards for exported sheep and cattle. Qualifications include first-class honors in Animal Science.

Tait's research examines practical interventions for:

• Thermoregulation during transport
• Housing density optimization
• Ammonia reduction in confinement
• Behavioral welfare indicators

Her work has direct application to Australian live export regulations and industry practices. Recent publications establish evidence-based guidelines for stock handling during transport and intensive housing.
