Jefo Group president and founder Mr Jean Fontaine said how proud he was that Avril has decided to join the Jefo team.
“Avril is a nice person with great knowledge of the industry,” he said.

“Jefo is committed to the advancement of the global intensive farming industries through proven scientific solutions and Dr Grieve’s appointment is another great addition to the Jefo family,” Mr Bradshaw said.
“Avril will join Dr Mar- cio Gonçalves and Dr Roger Campbell, who were recently appointed as Global Technical Man- ager – Swine and Inter- national Swine Consult- ant, respectively.”
Avril brings with her a Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Animal Science) and a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology).
She furthered her educa- tion by completing a Doc- tor of Philosophy titled ‘The role of protease in
unlocking the nutritive value of sorghum grain for pigs’ at the University of Queensland.

She has worked in Aus- tralian and New Zealand intensive industries for 15 years and has knowledge in all areas of monogas- tric production including genetics, nutrition, animal health and research, de- velopment and extension.
Avril also has extensive experience in nutritional technical product manage- ment including exogenous enzymes, premix formula- tion and probiotics.
Furthermore, she has over six years of expe- rience in sales account management.
When asked about her new appointment, Avril said, “I have always been impressed with the Jefo product line, the team and their commitment to ani- mal science.”
“I am looking forward to my new position at Jefo where I can further de- velop my skills, take on interesting projects and challenges and continue
to work with and support people in the monogastric industry.”

Pork sausage, zucchini and tomato spaghetti
INGREDIENTS
• 400g spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 500g thick Italian-style pork

3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and heat over medi- um-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, for three to four minutes until onion is tender. Add zucchini and cook, stirring occa- sionally, for two minutes. Add wine and cook for one minute.
4. Return sausage pieces to the pan, cover and cook over medium- low heat for four to five minutes until hot. Toss through tomatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, un- til hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add the spaghetti to the sausage mixture and toss over medium-low heat until hot. Toss through lemon juice and parsley. Drizzle with
