Thriving, and continued education in the Swine Industry, with Victoria Wilson.

Jun 19, 2023

Video: Thriving, and continued education in the Swine Industry, with Victoria Wilson.

Victoria Wilson is no stranger to animal agriculture, as she grew up riding horses and competing in rodeo. What she did not know is that she would fall into animal nutrition as a career. Hailing from St. Charles, MO, Victoria has made her way around the Midwest. When she initially decided to attend the University of Missouri for her BS in Animal Science, she had her sight set on reproduction focused in equine and beef cattle. After trying something new in swine and poultry, she discovered a love for the challenge of nutrition and how it impacts every aspect of production in livestock. She took a leap and made her way up to Ames, IA to attend Iowa State University for a MS focused in monogastric nutrition. Her thesis research focused on enteric inducers of oxidative stress and their impact on nursery pigs. Following her time at Iowa State, Victoria took a year in industry working as a feed mill coordinator for Seaboard Foods in Guymon, OK, focusing on ingredient and feed quality, working with farm management on feed ordering and optimization of feed delivery relative to biosecurity. Combined with her career aspirations and new knowledge of feed manufacturing, Victoria is now pursuing a PhD in Feed Science at Kansas State University.
