Hello my name is Alejandro and I am originally from Colombia.
I came to Prince Edward Island in September 2005
to join the Atlantic Veterinary College for doing my doctoral program here.
I decided to come to Canada and in particular to the Atlantic Veterinary College
because I thought they were the right people to conduct my doctoral program
was here at the AVC.
In particular Dr. Jeff Wichtel.
I have had the opportunity to work under his guidance for the last
four years
and Dr. Herman Barkema who used to work here at the Atlantic Veterinary College
is also my supervisor in this program.
We are making some investigation
about the effect of minerals
on other health issues in heifers
in dairy heifers and
we hope to have our results
at the end of the winter of 2010.
In particular I would like to say that the Atlantic Veterinary College gave me
the opportunity to study here
because I got a wonderful scholarship from the AVC Dean's Office
which
allowed me to stay in Canada, not only for me but for my family as well.
It been a great opportunity to be here.
