Biography

Dr. Bryony Tucker, a Research Scientist specializing in pig reproduction at the South Australian Research and Development Institute. My focus is on studying pigs and finding ways to improve their reproduction and overall well-being. Specifically, I'm interested in understanding how sows reproduce and lactate, as well as how to ensure the survival and proper management of piglets. For example creating and optimising ways to increase the avaiability and access of colostrum (first milk) and milk to piglets born impaired. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with researchers from different backgrounds and countries. These collaborations have given me valuable insights and a global perspective on pig and other animal research. Using my experience in various types of pig production systems, I aim to conduct research that can be applied to real-world farming practices, particularly in the birthing unit known as the farrowing house. My ultimate goal is to improve pig production for farmers of all sizes. I strongly believe that a deep understanding of the system and the needs of sows is crucial in achieving efficient and high-performance outcomes in the farrowing house.
