Eadaoin is in her third year of her PhD. She graduated from University College Dublin with a Bachelor of Agricultural Science. Finding a more sustainable way of feeding animals (in particular pigs) using natural ingredients, while increasing productivity and profitability is her key focus. Her project is looking at utilising waste mushrooms from Monaghan Mushrooms and turning them into a value-added product through animal feed. Mushrooms can be naturally enriched with vitamin D therefore providing a health benefit to both animals and humans.
