2 Students Travel to Netherlands

Both share data at ISAE congress

Graduate students Keara Leong-Machielse and Omowumi Olatinwo attended the 58th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE) in Utrecht, Netherlands, in August. Keara presented a poster titled “The effects of oxidizing air purification technology on swine barn air quality, piglet performance, and piglet behavior during the farrowing phase.” Omowumi received the Kelly Swanson Travel Fund Award to attend the event, where she presented data from her research project on reducing pain in male pig-lets after surgical castration.

Keara and Omowumi are both M.S. students in the Byrd lab.

The ISAE is a forum to discuss and present advances in applied animal behavior science and education.
