“I am passionate about how the feedstuffs we put into our ruminant production animals affects what we get out of them. I want to work in ruminant nutrition; whether that be as a consultant, a feed technician or in the area of feed sales. Immediately my B.S. Degree from the University of Florida will allow me to do that. In the long term I would like to work in ruminant feed formulation, which may require the pursuance of a master or doctoral degree.” Nicole Falk
