Dr McCoard has been recognised for her career contribution to research into the nutrition, survival, health, welfare and lifetime performance of farmed animals, and the influence this research has had on the sustainability and profitability of farming systems. "I am truly honoured to receive the McMeekan Memorial Award," Dr McCoard says. "It is an even greater honour to be placed in such distinguished ranks as those of the past honourees. Science is a team effort and I have been very lucky to work with a whole bunch of wonderful people, both within AgResearch and around New Zealand and the world".
