Prof Paul Kenyon BAgrSc, MAppSc, PhD

Head of School, School of Agriculture & Environment/Professor in Sheep Husbandry

Doctoral Supervisor
School of Agriculture and Environment

Professor Paul Kenyon completed at BAgrSci 1996, MApplSc in 1997 and PhD in 2002 in Animal Science. Paul is the Head of the School of Agriculture and Environment. The school includes more than 90 academic staff teaching and researching in the broad Agriculture, Horticulture and Environmental science disciplines. He is an Animal scientist and grew up on a sheep and beef farm.  Paul has more than 20 years of experience in sheep research in New Zealand and internationally. Specific large research programs which he has led (or is) or had (or has) a significant role in include; maximizing ewe lamb (hogget) breeding performance, the management of twin and triplet ewe and their offspring in pregnancy and lactation, developing ewe body condition score guidelines, use of alternative herbages including native shrubs to improve sheep performance, sheep interactions with waterways, the impacts on sheep grazing on nitrate leaching levels and farmer learning.  These research projects are undertaken at both the basic biological science level and at the farm systems/applied level. He has a number of research linkages and programmes nationally and internationally. Paul works collaboratively with farmers, industry and veterinarians throughout New Zealand and is a regular presenter at industry and farmer events.  He teaches into the Agriculture, Animal Science and Veterinary Science based programmes.

His research aims to improve on-farm productivity and profitability. He has a number of research linkages and programmes nationally and internationally. He has presented on more 150 occasions to farmer audiences and in the last 17 years and published more than 400 scientific articles (including 190 articles in refereed journals).  A considerable proportion of his research is undertaken in partnership with industry bodies in New Zealand.

Keywords

Professor Kenyon’s work is focused on pastoral-based sheep production systems and husbandry. He has been part of several successful large sheep research programs.  These include; maximizing ewe lamb (hogget) breeding performance, the management of twin and triplet ewes and their offspring in pregnancy and lactation, developing ewe body condition score guidelines, evaluating ewe efficiency, reducing ewe wastage, using alternative herbages and regenerative productive systems to improve sheep performance, and maximising milk production.  These research projects have been undertaken at both the basic biological science level and at the farm systems/applied level.  He has worked collaboratively with farmers, industry and veterinarians to ensure the results of these studies have resulted in practice change.  His current research projects include; water needs of sheep and their interactions with waterways, upgrading to a self-shedding breed, bioeconomic modeling of sheep production systems to maximise productivity, use of native shrubs as a source of forage, reducing nitrate leaching levels in sheep production systems and use of diverse pasture mixes.  

 

Research Projects

Completed Projects

Project Title: Science-based Extension for Lower North Island Sheep and Beef Farmers

This is a 2-year project located at Riverside Farm that develops a new extension model based on high-quality farmer/scientist interaction and farmer-led networking. Building on earlier work by Massey's Farmer Learning Group, the project focuses on the use of perennial summer forages in dryland farming. The reconstituted Farmer Learning Group consists of a cross-College and interdisciplinary team of 12 Massey scientists (drawn from the Institute of Education, IAE and IVABS) working together with some 45 sheep and beef farmers from the eastern Lower North Island. Project leader is Brennon Wood and the team includes a newly-appointed Research Officer, Roxanne Henwood, and one PhD student. The extension programme features 8 day-long, science-based workshops to be held at Riverside, network surveys to collect local knowledge, an industry-sponsored Colloquium and an on-site Field Day.
