Research Interests
My research interests at the University of Tasmania include: Genetic associations and breed comparisons between sheep and beef cattle carcass traits and DNA markers, On-Farm evaluation of fertility and prolificacy in Tasmanian crossbred and purebred ewes, Modelling lactation and concentrate response in pasture-based dairy cows varying in genetic potential for milk production, Profitability of grain-feeding Holstein-Friesian dairy cows in Tasmania and Genetic variation in feed efficiency, growth, body conformation and carcass quality of lot-fed cattle using random amplified polymorphic DNA markers. Aduli’s on-going network of collaborative research with overseas colleagues include detection and mapping of QTL for growth and body shape in beef cattle and the assessment of ghrelin secretagogue receptor and myostatin gene for positional cloning using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Japanese Black cattle.
Teaching
Aduli lectures first, second, third and fourth year undergraduate students in the following units: Animal Science (KLA326, KLA426), Animal Production Systems (KLA220, KLA320, KLA420), Pasture and Animal Science (KLA211) and Introduction to Agriculture and Horticulture (KLA100). He also supervises Industry Project (KLA377) and Field Agriculture (KLA215) students.
