About Yu De Chao
I am doing a degree in zoology and started out with an interest in mitigating urban-wildlife conflict. My Laidlaw Scholarship project was directed towards this interest of mine, exploring the psychological benefits of biodiversity and natural spaces in urban environments. However, my current expertise and interest lies in animal nutrition and health. I believe that optimising an animal's health through nutrition can not only help with on-farm productivity, but also ensure a higher quality of produce and a higher standard of animal welfare. With this in mind, feed nutrition would become an immensely important aspect in sustainable farming and food provision for the future.
