Meet Morgan Hallick, who served as an Animal Ambassador at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis this summer. She also gained hands-on experience as an intern at the Peoria Zoo and as a veterinary assistant at Tri-County Animal Emergency Clinic in Central Illinois.

“The Indiana State Fair was a great learning environment. I had the chance to work at each of the three Purdue exhibits, including cattle, swine and poultry. My favorite exhibit was poultry. I personally loved the ducks, especially when they would fall asleep in my hands in a matter of seconds. I learned that taking care of ducks, chickens and turkeys is much different than dogs or cats, which is much more personalized.” — Morgan Hallick

New research is helping researchers better understand the relationship between summer heat, humidity and feed intake in lactating sows.

Using daily feed intake records from nearly 900 sows, researchers found that dew point, a measure of humidity, was more strongly associated with reduced feed intake than maximum air temperature alone. The findings highlight the importance of considering both temperature and humidity when developing feeding and environmental management strategies for sows during hot summer conditions.

The study was conducted by Purdue Animal Sciences researchers Qianqian Huang, Maria Souza, Hinayah Rojas de Oliveira, Luiz Brito and Allan Schinckel, alongside Hyatt Frobose.

Pictured are the electronic feeders used for the study.

Savannah Metoyer spent her summer gaining hands-on experience as a Veterinary and Hospital Care Assistant for Emergency Veterinary Care Centers in Mishawaka, Indiana.

“I think the most important thing I learned was, although our clinic was extremely fast-paced and had to be on a quick turnaround, it is important to take time with those and have compassion when they are letting their loved pets go. Taking that time can really make a huge difference in their visit.” — Savannah Metoyer

We’re proud to see our students gaining hands-on experience and exploring future career opportunities.
