Liz Cork and Laura Senge are two Murdoch University students who have received sponsorship via scholarships from Western Dairy and Dairy Australia. They will be attending the event registration desk at this years Dairy Innovation day on May 4th.
Liz Cork is currently in her fourth year of Veterinary Medicine, has received support to look at the sensitivity of mastitis pathogens from cases on several WA dairy farms.
Her project will also evaluate on-farm devices for diagnosis including the RT10 – Platinum Somatic Cell Counter, 3M-Petrifilm and Draminski Four-cup (somatic cell counter).
Laura Senge is an honours student in environmental science working on designing innovative effluent systems for dairy farms. Her research was a great fit with the industry’s DairyCare project that is helping WA dairy farmers to improve their effluent management systems.
Western Dairy’s Esther Jones said the university relationships were highly valued by Western Dairy.
“We really value the opportunities those relationships provide in order to develop young professionals who can make a contribution to the production efficiencies of the WA dairy industry,” Ms Jones said.
“Both Liz and Laura will be on our event registration desk and actively participating in the day’s program.
“They each have a great passion for their study in dairy and we are working hard to show them a quality career-path in their respective areas of expertise within this industry.”
