Marisa A. Erasmus studies the welfare and behavior of farm animals, especially poultry (laying hens, broilers, turkeys, ducks) but also pigs and cattle. Her work covers topics like housing systems, stress and disease (such as mite infestations), genetics of welfare-related traits, transport conditions, and the use of new tools like computer vision and artificial intelligence to monitor animal welfare on farms. This research is aimed at improving farm animal management practices and informing production system design.
Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, rising from just 1 paper in 2017 to a peak of around 12-13 papers per year in 2022 and 2024, with continued high output projected into 2026.
