Speaker Bio
Mike grew up on a poultry farm in Ontario, raising broilers, turkeys, laying hens and layer pullets. He graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1998, and has worked as a full-time laying hen vet for McKinley Hatchery in Ontario for over 20 years. He received a MSc in Animal Welfare in 2014 from the University of Guelph. He’s proud of his dual roles as a welfare scientist and active poultry veterinarian.

Mike has worked on welfare and health strategy projects at the provincial and national level in Canada, has several peer-reviewed publications, and regularly presents nationally and internationally. He really enjoys working with academics, farmers and allied industry colleagues, and has yet to find anyone in the poultry industry that he can’t learn something from.
