Dr. Camille Raoult

I am working as a Postdoc at the Martin-Luther-University of Halle-Wittenberg (Germany) in the Animal Husbandry and Ecology Department of the Institute for Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences. I am currently working on different projects related to improved farm animal husbandry and behaviour. In particular, I am developing a project to assess pig emotional responses in different experimental contexts. Before that, I worked as a research assistant at the Aviforum (ZTHZ, Switzerland) on an indoor tracking system for broiler breeders and laying hens. I did my PhD at the Centre for Proper Housing of Ruminants and Pigs (ZTHT, Switzerland) on the effect of mood on cognitive judgement and attention biases in animals. I developed a promising attention bias test in sheep to assess long-term mood (and thus welfare) using an on-farm setting.
