Currently working as a Research Scientist at Rivalea Australia in the Research and Innovation Team. My interests include sow reproduction, colostrum management, and piglet survivability, with a focus on the primiparous sow and the growth and development of gilt progeny. I work closely with staff on farm to implement management practices to improve the productivity, health and wellbeing of the sow and her piglets, in particular via the collection and analysis of big data, and research into management and nutritional interventions in gestation and lactation. I love research collaboration and networking - feel free to get in touch with your research ideas!
