Dr. Malachy Young, business partner and nutritionist with Gowans Feed Consulting is optimistic that this approach will succeed to fill vacancies in their expanding business. “There are tremendous opportunities to assist pork producers with diets and feeding programs that reduce the cost of production and still provide the growth rate, feed efficiency and carcass composition producers and consumers demand. This program will ensure that students receive a well-rounded perspective of the role of a commercial nutritionist working directly with pork producers and the financial support that the student needs to dedicate more time to furthering their skill sets and experience”. The Gowans Feed Consulting Student in Nutrition Award will allow the student who has some industry experience and wishes to increase their profile and lifetime earning potential through advanced nutrition training, while at the same time providing a competitive salary and unique industry experience.
