About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Animal Nutrition Trial Specialist to support the design, evaluation, and analysis of animal nutrition studies and feeding trials. The role focuses on assessing dietary interventions, reviewing trial protocols, interpreting animal performance data, and evaluating the nutritional effectiveness of feed ingredients, additives, and formulated diets.

The successful candidate will apply expertise in animal nutrition, experimental design, statistical analysis, and research documentation to generate reliable insights into feed efficiency, animal growth, production performance, and nutritional outcomes. This is a fully remote technical position focused on trial planning, digital data review, statistical evaluation, scientific reporting, and coordination with local research facilities and livestock teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and review animal nutrition trial protocols aligned with research objectives, species requirements, and production conditions.
• Support the design of feeding trials for cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, and other livestock species.
• Evaluate trial objectives, treatment groups, dietary interventions, control diets, and measurable performance outcomes.
• Review experimental designs, sample size assumptions, randomization procedures, and data collection schedules.
• Analyze animal growth rates, feed intake, feed conversion ratios, milk production, egg production, and other relevant performance indicators.
• Evaluate the nutritional effects of feed ingredients, supplements, additives, enzymes, probiotics, and alternative protein sources.
• Review laboratory results relating to feed composition, nutrient digestibility, mineral content, and feed quality.
• Assess the relationship between dietary composition, nutrient utilization, animal performance, and production efficiency.
• Analyze feed intake, body weight, body condition, production records, and other trial datasets supplied by local research teams.
• Apply statistical methods to evaluate treatment effects, variability, correlations, and differences between experimental groups.
• Use statistical software to conduct data analysis, model nutritional responses, and prepare research summaries.
• Identify inconsistencies, missing observations, outliers, and protocol deviations that may affect trial validity.
• Review trial monitoring records and assess adherence to approved research protocols.
• Evaluate feed palatability, nutrient digestibility, and feed utilization outcomes using available analytical and experimental data.
• Assess the effects of environmental conditions, housing systems, animal age, breed, and production stage on trial outcomes.
• Prepare technical reports, scientific summaries, data visualizations, and evidence-based nutritional recommendations.
• Coordinate remotely with veterinarians, animal nutritionists, laboratory scientists, farm managers, and research personnel.
• Review research documentation, trial records, data collection templates, and quality assurance procedures.
• Support the development of standardized data management and reporting procedures for animal nutrition studies.
• Interpret published research and scientific literature to benchmark trial findings and identify relevant nutritional evidence.
• Maintain organized trial datasets, analytical records, protocol versions, and supporting research documentation.
• Recommend improvements to experimental design, data collection, analytical methods, and reporting quality.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Animal Science, Animal Nutrition, Veterinary Science, Agricultural Science, Biology, or a related discipline.
• Master's degree or PhD in Animal Nutrition, Animal Science, Feed Science, Veterinary Nutrition, or a relevant research specialization is an advantage.
• Significant professional experience in animal nutrition research, feeding trials, livestock performance evaluation, or experimental data analysis.
• Strong understanding of nutrient requirements, feed ingredients, digestibility, metabolism, and animal production systems.
• Experience supporting nutritional trials involving ruminants, poultry, or other livestock species.
• Knowledge of experimental design, randomization, control groups, sample size considerations, and trial methodology.
• Proficiency in statistical analysis and interpretation of experimental datasets.
• Experience using statistical tools such as R, SAS, SPSS, Python, or equivalent applications.
• Ability to interpret feed laboratory results, nutritional composition data, and animal performance measurements.
• Understanding of feed conversion, growth performance, nutrient utilization, and production efficiency indicators.
• Familiarity with research protocols, scientific documentation, data integrity, and quality assurance practices.
• Knowledge of animal welfare principles and ethical requirements governing animal research.
• Ability to review research literature and translate scientific findings into practical nutritional insights.
• Strong technical writing skills, including preparation of scientific reports, research summaries, and analytical presentations.
• Excellent communication and virtual collaboration skills.
• Ability to manage multiple research assignments independently in a fully remote working environment.

What We Offer

• 100% remote working arrangement from home.
• Opportunity to contribute to animal nutrition research and evidence-based livestock production.
• Exposure to feeding trial analysis, nutritional research, and advanced statistical methods.
• Collaboration with multidisciplinary veterinary, agricultural, laboratory, and research teams.
• Competitive compensation based on qualifications and relevant professional experience.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should submit an updated CV highlighting their animal nutrition research experience, feeding trial involvement, statistical analysis capabilities, and relevant academic qualifications.
