Like Susan, his particular area of expertise is in poultry nutrition and health.
- Kirsty Kemmett joins the UK-based global technical services team to provide support on Enviva® probiotic and Syncra® AVI enzyme/probiotic combination solutions. Kirsty has a specialist microbiological background that includes a BSc in Veterinary Pathogenesis and a PhD focussed on the epidemiology, molecular and pathogenic characterisation of avian pathogenic E.coli in broiler chickens.
- Alex Wealleans, whose PhD was centred on the effects of tannin-containing feeds on growth performance and meat quality in pigs, is tasked with analyzing worldwide trial data to provide local customers with strong evidence to back up performance and digestibility claims for our probiotic, enzyme and betaine solutions.
Andrew Harker, Global Industry Leader for Animal Nutrition, commented, “The market is challenged by the growing consumer demand for antibiotic-free, high quality protein at a low cost. To help address these issues, we are strengthening our on the ground and global team with additional experts in microbiology and animal health, and continue to invest heavily in probiotic and other solutions that are proven to support healthy animal performance.”
