Michael Calvert Appleby
OBE is a British
ethologist and
animal welfare scientist, especially for farm animals. 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. He worked for
World Animal Protection (previously WSPA) from 2005 to 2016, and is now retired.
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.
[1] Appleby helped design the Edinburgh Modified Cage, which is a
furnished cage for hens, replacing
battery cages to improve animal welfare.

He was appointed
Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the
2017 Birthday Honours for services to animal welfare.
