Dr Emma Cuttance – Epivets Ltd
As one of the leading experts on facial eczema, Emma has been amazingly helpful and supportive of our project from the outset. Not only has she given freely of her time (and she is so passionate about her work!), Epivets has provided samples for our field testing at no cost to us.
Professor Richard Laven – Massey University
Richard is professor of production animal health and welfare and is an expert on facial eczema. Along with Emma Cuttance, he has published many papers on the subject and we contacted him right at the start of the project. He couldn’t have been more helpful
Bridgit Hawkins – Executive Leader
As a mentor, we worked with Bridgit through both the Venture Taranaki Power Up competition and the Sprout Agricultural Accelerator program. Her insight and experience was invaluable to us as we found our feet with this new challenge.
Dr Axel Heiser – AgResearch
Despite holding the hugely demanding role of Chief Scientist of AgResearch, Axel has found the time to point us in the right direction and provide ad hoc advice and support throughout the project.
