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
Professor Meriel Moore-Colyer graduated with a BSc hons in Agriculture in 1984 from University College of Wales Aberystwyth and completed her PhD in Equine Digestive Physiology at the University of Edinburgh in 2000. Meriel lectured in production animal and equine nutrition at Aberystwyth University from 1989 – 2004 during which time she won OECD and British Council scholarships for a sabbatical study period in France to continue her work on digestive physiology in the horse. Her research interests include fundamental digestive physiology and development of novel feeds for horses. More recently reducing dust in the stable environment has been a focus, concentrating on manipulation of forage to reduce the allergenic burden and improve the health and welfare of stabled horses. Meriel is a registered Animal Scientist with the Royal Society of Biology and a member of the scientific board for the European Workshop for Equine Nutrition.

About me
Wilbert Pellikaan is assistant professor at the Animal Nutrition Group of Wageningen University & Research. In 2007 he obtained his current position within the Animal Nutrition Group with half of his time dedicated to lecturing subjects in general animal nutrition and animal nutrition physiology, and supervising undergraduate and graduate students. His main area of research is ruminant nutrition with a special interest in using novel tanniniferous fodder legumes in dairy cow nutrition to reduce enteric methane emissions. Since 2011 he conducts equine nutritional related studies within the Centre for Animal Nutrition, in collaboration with the Faculty of Veterinary Science at Utrecht University.
In 2007 he participated as a workpackage leader in an EU funded research training network ‘HealthyHay’, focussing on the effect of sainfoin tannins on methane production. This project was successfully continued in a subsequent EU funded initial training network ‘LegumePlus’ (www.legumeplus.eu) in which he also partici

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
