Rate My Professor Wendy Brown

Wendy Brown is Adjunct Associate Professor in Canine Science at the University of New England, within the School of Environmental and Rural Science, Faculty of Science, Agriculture, Business and Law. She holds an MScAg and a PhD in Canine Nutrition, both from the University of New England. In this capacity, she heads a successful canine research program focused on non-invasive studies with privately-owned dogs. She also manages the Laureldale Dog Research and Training Facility, where specialty canine units support ongoing research activities. Extension efforts emphasize community dog management programs, contributing to practical applications of her work in animal health and welfare.

Her academic interests center on canine nutrition, behaviour and management, population and health management of community dogs, and canine dental health. Wendy Brown has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals, demonstrating her influence in animal science. Key publications include 'Biosecurity Dogs Detect Live Insects after Training with Odor-Proxy Training Aids: Scent Extract and Dead Specimens' (Chemical Senses, 2020, with Ariella Y. Moser et al.); 'Rare Finding of a Full Nuchal Ligament Lamellae With Attachment Points From C2–C7 in One Australian Stock Horse' (Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2020, with Sharon May-Davis et al.); 'Global Strategies for Population Management of Domestic Cats (Felis catus): A Systematic Review to Inform Best Practice Management for Remote Indigenous Communities in Australia' (Animals, 2020, with Brooke P.A. Kennedy and Bonny Cumming); 'A Radiographic Technique for Assessment of Morphologic Variations of the Equine Caudal Cervical Spine' (Animals, 2020, with Christine Gee et al.); 'Evaluating Ultrasound as a Non-Invasive Technique for Investigating Anatomical Variations of the Equine Nuchal Ligament Lamellae' (Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2020, with Sharon May-Davis and Christine Gee); 'Prematurity and Dysmaturity is Associated with Reduced Height and Shorter Distal Limb Length in Adult Horses' (Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2020, with Jane Clothier et al.); 'Olfactory Generalization in Detector Dogs' (Animals, 2019, with Ariella Y. Moser and Lewis Bizo); and 'Ground Force Kinetic Adaptations Associated with Canine Boots' (Biologia Futura, 2019, with Kathleen Shorter). These contributions span canine biosecurity, equine anatomy, and livestock guarding behaviors, underscoring her interdisciplinary impact.
