JUANITA ECHEVERRY-MUNERA AWARDED 2023 DFO DOCTORAL SCHOLARSHIP

Juanita Echeverry-Munera, PhD candidate in the Trouw Nutrition Ruminant Research Centre at the University of Guelph, is the recipient of the 2023 DFO Doctoral Scholarship of $105,000 over three years. Her research explores methods to raise dairy-beef calves to improve productivity, sustainability and economic return on Canadian farms.

The annual doctoral scholarship is awarded to an exceptional PhD student at the University of Guelph and helps young researchers lead innovative dairy research projects, developing strong relationships for future career success.

“I would like to thank Dairy Farmers of Ontario for selecting me as the DFO Doctoral Scholarship recipient. This award represents a significant opportunity in my academic career as it enables me to continue with my studies, and to be abroad (in Europe) performing a study which has the potential to produce new practical strategies for dairy and dairy-beef producers to ensure animal welfare, future performance, and profitability on Canadian farms.”
