Biography

Dr Hong Thi Nguyen is currently a research fellow specializing in poultry nutrition and gut health. She obtained PhD and Master degrees in Poultry Nutrition (University of New England, Australia), and a Bachelor in Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science (Vietnam National University of Agriculture, Vietnam).

In recent research activities at UNE, her main study area has been focused on managing the use of dietary fibre in poultry feed as well as exploring potential strategies to ameliorate possible detriments caused by necrotic enteritis infection to gut health, welfare and performance in broilers, through applying feed additives and/or reduced crude protein diets.

Prior to joining the Poultry nutrition research team at the University of New England (UNE), she had been working in various research projects at the National Institute of Animal Sciences in Vietnam, to determine the nutrient requirements and explore strategies to improve the intestinal health and production efficiency, in both swine and poultry, with using feed additives and/or cooperating of local feed ingredients in the formulation. During this period, she also gained lots of working and experimental managing experience in pig and poultry commercial farms.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
