Michael Appleby is an ethologist and animal welfare scientist, especially for farm animals. He works for World Animal Protection. He obtained a BSc in Zoology at the University of Bristol and a PhD in Animal Behaviour at King's College, Cambridge. He then spent 20 years at the Poultry Research Centre in Scotland and the University of Edinburgh researching behaviour, husbandry, and welfare of farm animals. His early work on stocking densities in poultry and the tethering of pregnant sows contributed to the body of evidence that led, eventually, to major changes in animal welfare and the way these animals are kept.〔(Animal Welfare – A Key Role In The Future Of The World ) Accessed 3 May 2009〕 Appleby helped design the Edinburgh Modified Cage, which is a furnished cage for hens, replacing battery cages to improve animal welfare.〔Appleby, M.C.
