Dr Sriperm, known as Nickki, has a background in animal husbandry, and degrees at a master’s level in both Business Economics and Agriculture Economics.

Dr Sriperm worked in the animal nutrition industry for seven years before pursuing her Ph.D. in poultry science, which she recently attained from the University of Georgia.

Her experience in feed formulation, data analysis, economics and specialisation in poultry nutrition will assist customers in capturing maximum nutritional value from their diets as well as cost savings opportunities.

“I am pleased to have joined such an innovative company. Danisco Animal Nutrition is firmly focused on working in partnership with their customers to address the long-term needs of using finite resources to feed a growing population. I am particularly excited to be working with such a skilled group of professional scientists,” said Dr Sriperm.

Working from Buford, northeast of Atlanta, Georgia in the United States, she will report to Dr Janet Remus, director, Regional Research and Technical Services.
