Main Scientific: Barbara Mickelson, PhD; Envigo
Topic:
“A closer look at lab animal diet composition, formulation, and manufacturing.”
Discussion:
Diet is a 24/7 input in animal care. People involved in animal care or research will benefit
from opportunities to learn about diet terminology, diet manufacturing, the differences between various
types of diets, and gain understanding as to how diet can be a research variable or research tool.
Improved understanding and awareness of diet options can lead to better decisions about diet selection
for general or specific purpose use, and ultimately, more reliable research results.
Brief Bio:
Barb Mickelson has been with Envigo for 20 years and currently manages the Technical
Services team. In her work as a laboratory animal nutritionist, she interacts with and advises research
personnel across many scientific disciplines. She is responsible for the formulation and technical support
of standard and custom research laboratory animal diets and is engaged in the quality management
systems put in place. Barb earned her PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-
Madison, where she studied protein and amino acid metabolism. She has lectured at the collegiate level
and worked as a pediatric dietician.
