Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 23/10/2025We see your "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series", and raise you "Quantifying the Small Body Problem: A Meta-Analysis: A Webinar" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTi3...) Are animal advocates making more animal suffer? We're not talking crop deaths. We're talking the #SmallBodyProblem. (5/5) 000
Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 23/10/2025"Support Surges for UK Ban on Low Welfare Imports" (bryantresearch.co.uk/insight-item...) The public agrees. Farmers agree. And animal advocates agree. Lower-welfare animal product imports have no place in the UK. The UK is outsourcing #AnimalCruelty, and Brits won't stand for it. (4/5) 100
Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Animal advocates have an opportunity to join hands with animal farmers. Half of the animal farmers we surveyed would consider stopping livestock farming entirely if financially viable alts were accessible. We can truly #SupportBritishFarmers by supporting a just transition from livestock. (3/5) 100
Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 23/10/2025"The Hidden Toll of Slaughter on Farmers’ Mental Health" (bryantresearch.co.uk/insight-item...) Many British livestock farmers struggle with sending their animals to slaughter. Some are even traumatised. But few talk about it. (2/5) 100

Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 04/09/2025Such a pleasure carrying out this study with @annayahprosser.bsky.social!! It's high time we ditch the meat = masculine narrative, but untangling this connection isn't easily done. Our study uncovered 6 strategies to get #meatreduction to resonate with men - who's joining us to make it happen? 021
Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Our latest study found a sig connection between #masculine norms and #meat. Then, we ran focus groups to explore the issue in men's own words. So, which masc norms are driving the connection, what do men think about it, and how can interventions actually appeal to men? ➡️ tinyurl.com/mukzks92 032

Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 22/05/2025🚨 Our pets consume a staggering ~20% of the world's meat and fish. This massive demand has significant ethical and environmental implications, making sustainable pet food not just a niche but a necessity. tinyurl.com/bdfu95pb 030
Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 20/05/2025🚨 Are we really focusing on the right water villains? Forget headlines about AI's thirst. While the water footprint of data centres is rising and absolutely demands our attention, it pales in comparison to the true Leviathan of water consumption: animal agriculture tinyurl.com/2v4r4jm5bryantresearch.co.ukA Drop in the Bucket: Comparing the Water Footprint of AI and The Cattle Industry - Bryant ResearchHow much water does AI actually use? And how does it stack up against water-hungry beef and dairy? 011
Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 08/05/2025A recent report reveals that a staggering 95% of the UK's potential trade partners have lower animal welfare standards. This means products produced using methods illegal here – like sow stalls and barren battery cages – could flood our markets. 010
Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 08/05/2025🟥 The UK faces a critical choice: will we allow our commitment to animal welfare to be undermined by imports? bryantresearch.co.uk/insight-item...bryantresearch.co.ukEveryone Agrees: It’s Time to End Low-Welfare Imports - Bryant ResearchCross-sector consensus underscores a fundamental ethical stance 110
Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Even brief interventions can have a tangible impact on behaviour.

Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Can a single video sway our forks? New research says yes 🌱 We've wrapped up two fascinating studies exploring whether short educational videos about the environmental and ethical consequences of animal agriculture can nudge actual food choices amongst university students.

Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 11/02/2025🔴 The dairy and beef industries are more intertwined than ever: 52% of the UK's beef herd originates from the dairy industry 🔴 Instead of fixing stressful farm environments, practices like tail docking are used to "manage" behavioural problems. High-impact solutions like in-ovo sexing, already exist 010
Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Our findings show: 🔴 Massive misalignment between public values and practice 🔴 A lack of transparency, with some practices not even properly recorded, leaving their actual prevalence unknown 130
Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 11/02/2025This is a big one - ‼️ 75-96% of the UK public opposes common farming practices — yet these practices remain the norm. 252

Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Key Takeaways: ▶️ A significant portion of the UK population lacks essential nutrients ▶️ Enhancing plant-based foods through processing can effectively bridge these nutritional gaps ▶️ Appropriate processing can improve health benefits, challenging the notion that less processing is inherently better. 000
Bryant Research @bryantresearch.bsky.social · 27/01/2025In our latest insight piece we challenge the conventional aversion to food processing, presenting evidence that strategic fortification in plant-based foods can address widespread micronutrient deficiencies.
