Dr Roy Kirkwood
Associate Professor
School of Animal and Veterinary Science
Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology
Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.
Originally from the UK, I completed my BSc in zoology with applied zoology from the University of Wales before undertaking a PhD programme at the University of Leed researching boar effects on gilt puberty. I then moved to Massey University in New Zealand for 2 years researching the impact of lactation length on sow fertility. I then moved to Canada and conducted research in various areas, including nutritional effects on sow fertility. I received my DVM from Saskatchewan in 1995 and moved back to Alberta as the provincial swine research veterinarian. In 1999 I moved to the Royal Veterinary College (London) as a senior lecturer before moving to Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2001. I relocated to the University of Adelaide in 2011.
