Literature review
I hope that my research raises awareness of the gaps in the literature, so that more studies can be done to come to better conclusions as to which feeding methods should be implemented going forwards, as well as to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable and ethical pig farming practices. Producing this literature review has equipped me with a range of skills from reading academic articles and coming to unbiased conclusions, to managing my time and motivating myself to work independently. I am also thrilled to have learned so much about the world of pig production, which I previously new nothing about.
Hi, I'm Alice, a Biochemistry student at the University of Leeds. I love science as I am fascinated by understanding how life works at a chemical and cellular level, but I also have a very arty side, with passions including painting and music.
This Summer I will be doing a research project into improving the efficiency of pig-feeding methods, to decrease environmental impact and reduce waste. I will be looking into how current phase feeding methods can be optimized by more closely meeting the nutritional requirements of the pigs at each stage.
