TEAGASC PHD WALSH SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY
??Consequences of the grazed pasture diversity on the nutritional and
technological properties of milk from Holstein-Friesian and Jersey
Holstein-Friesian crossbred dairy cows??
Walsh Scholarships Ref Number 2021051
Background
Improving the efficiency of dairy systems is a significant challenge for Ireland in the future. As the
pressure intensifies to reduce nitrogen (N) losses to the environment from pasture-based dairy systems,
interest in perennial ryegrass (PRG) white clover (WC) and diverse multispecies swards, where more N
for pasture growth is supplied by biological N fixation has been revived. Among the main opportunities
to simultaneously improve productivity and sustainability of grazing systems, the incorporation of
legumes in grazing pastures to reduce reliance on chemical N application is of critical immediate
importance. In Ireland, to date, there has been relatively low adoption of more diverse sward mixtures
containing alternative legumes and forage herbs. With that, there is limited data available on the effects
of mixed sward pastures on the composition, quality and techno-functional properties of milk and dairy
products. The objective of this project is to compare the performance of monoculture swards, with
multispecies swards and Holstein-Friesian and Jersey Holstein-Friesian crossbred cattle on dairy system
performance, composition and functionality of milk, and important commodity dairy products such as
butter and cheese as well as investigate for biomarkers of nutritional and udder health status of the
animal within intensive pasture-based grazing systems.
Requirements
Applicants should have a First or Upper Second-Class Honours BSc. degree in Food Science, Nutrition,
Agriculture or a related discipline. The successful scholar should be highly self-motivated with
enthusiasm to develop technical skills across a range of disciplines including on farm sampling,
laboratory analysis, dairy chemistry, dairy production and processing, gas chromatography
technologies, and be prepared for laboratory analyses, periods of field research and food processing
activities at the Teagasc Food Research Centre and Dairy Farm. Non-native speakers of English must
provide evidence of English language proficiency; details regarding English requirements can be found
at https://www.ucc.ie/en/study/comparison/english/postgraduate/
Award
Starting in October 2021, this Ph.D scholarship is a joint research project between Teagasc and
University College Cork (UCC). The scholar will be based in the Department of Food Chemistry and
Technology in Teagasc Food Research Centre, Moorepark, Fermoy Co. Cork, Ireland; conducting
research under the supervision of Dr. Prabin Lamichhane (Teagasc Food Research Centre, Moorepark)
and Dr. Tom O??Callaghan (UCC). The scholarship funding is ?24,000 per annum and includes University
fees of up to a maximum of ?6,000 per annum and is tenable for 4 years.
