Dr Sobolewska grew up in Poland and has always been passionate about animals.

She studied animal nutrition and then did a PhD in omega-3 and natural antioxidants added to feed.

She came to the UK in 2017 as a research assistant at Harper Adams University and for the last seven years has worked in an independent British manufacturer and international distributor of natural feed additives for animal health, nutrition, and biosecurity.

Last year, she completed her Nuffield scholarship which was entitled ‘Feed Efficiency and Targeted Genetic Selection as the Key for Sustainable Performance and Profitability in Laying Hens’.

During her time as a scholar, she investigated whether feed efficiency and targeted genetic selection hold the key to performance and profitability in laying hens. She focused on feed additives, robotics and artificial intelligence, and genetic selection tools.
