BAppSc(Equine Studies), PhD, GradCertUnivTeach&Learn, MBA Glenys has taught a wide variety of subjects across four courses: Veterinary Science, Equine Science, Animal Science and Veterinary Technology mainly in animal nutrition, animal pharmacology and equine exercise physiology. Glenys's PhD research centred on developing a forensic test to detect synthetic growth hormone given to racehorses. In collaboration with racing authorities, both in Australia and overseas, she continues to investigate the pharmacokinetics of equine therapeutics to provide more reliable estimates of drug excretion times in competition horses. She completed 5 months' study leave at the University of Pennsylvania, developing her skills in pharmacokinetic modelling with Professor Ray Boston. Glenys’s teaching interests and areas of expertise include ruminant and equine nutrition, pharmacology, equine exercise physiology and general animal husbandry. From the commencement of her PhD, Glenys has been a leading international researcher into the detection and regulation of prohibited substances in competition horses. She has conducted research into glucose and insulin dynamics in equids; the safety and efficacy of NSAIDs and equine oral calmative preparations and equine behaviour and welfare. Her objective measurement of reactivity in horses has been utilised by Prof Temple Grandin from Colorado State University. Glenys has worked in live export, completing several sea voyages with sheep and cattle to the Middle East. This has enabled her to conduct research into managing the physiology of livestock to cope with adverse conditions such as confinement, high temperature and humidity and alterations in diet. Her current research focus is the use of industrial hemp biomass, seed and associated products as livestock feeds. She is particularly interested the monitoring of residues in meat and other food products.
