My research focuses on the development of innovative, biodegradable & non-invasive intravaginal delivery systems to enhance reproductive efficiency and animal welfare in livestock. Specifically, I have worked on the design and evaluation of controlled-release formulations, such as Buserelin acetate, cloprostenol, and progesterone, for use in pigs, cattle, goats, and sheep. These systems aim to improve farrowing predictability, reduce piglet mortality, support estrus synchronisation, and provide effective pain management during critical production events such as tail docking and parturition. By integrating veterinary reproductive physiology, pharmaceutical formulation, and translational science, my work offers biodegradable, user-friendly alternatives to injectable therapies, ultimately improving on-farm efficiency and animal care.

My current PhD project investigates the pharmacological performance and practical application of controlled-release intravaginal delivery systems in pigs. This research has resulted in peer-reviewed publications, oral conference presentations, and active collaboration with academic and industry partners. Broadly, my work contributes to the advancement of sustainable livestock production systems by translating laboratory-based innovations into field-ready solutions that enhance animal welfare, reproductive outcomes, and labour efficiency.
