CV

Dina’s interest lies in investigating the effect of different factors on the various microbiomes found in ruminants, with specific focus on the interaction between nutrition, the microorganisms and the host.  

B.Sc. in Animal Science at the University of Pretoria, South Africa (2011-2014).

M.Sc. in Animal Science (Animal Breeding and Genetics), University of Pretoria, South Africa (2015 – 2018). Thesis title: Gene expression profiles in the longissimus dorsi muscle of Bonsmara and Nguni cattle fed two different diets

PhD in Animal Science, University of Pretoria, South Africa (2018 – 2023). Dissertation title: The effect of an ionophore, essential oils and a probiotic on the rumen and jejunal microbiome of South African Bonsmara cattle raised under feedlot conditions

Technical Scientific Support, Envarto, South Africa (2021 – 2025).
