During her trip in Brittany to discover the French pig production, Kaisa Ryytty Sylvén swine vet in Sweden for Gård & Djurhälsan met our consultants on Thursday afternoon. She discovered all our services : pig herds audits (health, air flow, stray voltages …), contract research organisation department, biostatistics and epidemiology. Our consultants presented to Kaisa our projects for a better knowledge and management of #PRRS. This meeting finished with a visit of our new accommodations in Pontivy (offices, meeting rooms and laboratory).

Congratulations Théo Nicolazo for your oral communications during the annual congress of EAAP – European Federation of Animal Science 2022 ! The main objectives of this project was to give some scientific proofs about the consequences of stray voltages in pig housing on behaviour and physiological stress. All the team thank Elodie Merlot, Caroline Clouard, Raphaël Comte and Sophie Dare of the PEGASE group of INRAE for their advices in designing the protocol and analysing the data.

Théo joined the team in 2022 as research engineer, data manager and R&D consultant. He graduated from the Ecole Supérieure des Agricultures (ESA) Angers Loire. He will be manager of the CRO’s activities. During his studies, he developed specific skills as clinical and behavioural observations and recordings, biological samples collection and GCP’s investigations and data management.

Charlotte joins the team today as research engineer and PhD student. She will be fully involved in a PhD project for 3 years in partnership with EPISABE laboratory from ANSES. This project will improve deeply our expertise in PRRSV global approach in order to design and propose new services to our partners (pig farmers, swine vets, pharmaceutical labs …) in Europe
