About me
Annette gained a BSc in Biology at the University of Stirling in 1978 and after two years of teaching in the Caribbean, returned to undertake a PhD at Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. Thereafter, she was a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Hull, specialising in microbial degradation of plant cell walls. She subsequently joined the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research (IGER), first at Hurley (in 1985) and then Shinfield, where she focussed on the digestion, absorption and metabolism of fibrous feeds by pigs. In 1991 she moved to IGER, Aberystwyth, where initially she worked on ruminant nutrition but by the mid-1990’s her work had shifted focus to equine nutrition, regarding the utilisation of plant carbohydrates by ponies. She was concurrently involved in an EU project evaluating changes in the carbohydrate content and composition of temperate grasses throughout the growing season. In 2005 she left IGER to run her own equine nutrition research consultancy, ELNS. In

About me
I grew up at a cattle farm in Friesland, the Netherlands and I have a background in animal, plant and soil sciences. After completion I worked at the Grass Science Institute and focused on fatty acid composition of ruminants and roughage. It always fascinated me to see what happens under our feet and how that affects plant growth. My Ph.D research focused on soil microorganisms and how they are affected by plant traits. The link between crop development and the underground world is still largely unknown. Fortunately, that is slowly but surely changing. Currently, I am working as a agronomy researcher at Eurofins Agro in Wageningen (The Netherlands). Assessing soil fertility is one of our key businesses. As such I am in charge of the improvement of techniques to measure soil fertility and explore the potential of innovative techniques by means of lab, greenhouse, and field trials. The emphasis of that work is on nutrient flows in relation to crop quantity and quality (e.g. roughage quality characteristics). For th
