Cyril joined Prairie Swine Center after working for four years in the Canadian farm animal sector. In the past year prior to\u00a0joining Prairie swine Centre he was working with the Canadian hog industry where he was involved in implementation of management practices such as conversion of farrowing crates to enriched pens, introduction of pain management procedures for castration, and group housing of sows at various stages of breeding management.<\/p>\n

Cyril\u2019s doctoral research focused on welfare assessment of horses transported for commercial purposes in Canada, the USA and Iceland. His research also focused on identifying risk factors to develop mitigation strategies for the identified welfare issues. Before doing his Ph.D., Cyril obtained a Master\u2019s degree in Applied Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare. His bachelor degree was on Veterinary Sciences.<\/p>\n

Cyril\u2019s research interests revolve around finding practical solutions to improve farm animal welfare which can be backed up by evidence based research. He is currently working on welfare issues associated with mixing of sows after weaning.<\/p>\n
