As a veterinarian I consult roughly 115 farms in Denmark and several large farms/integrations in other countries, mainly in east and south Europe and Latin-America. I’m an owner at Porcus since 1 of Jan 2020. Porcus is a veterinarian company with 12 specialized pig veterinarians. At Porcus we consult 200.000 sows with production, this being 20% of the Danish market, as well as farms and integrations in Europe, Latin America and Asia. Besides consulting my clients, I do presentations and lectures internationally on pig production. I have had the honor presenting at IPVS, AASV, AMVEC, PORKCOLOMBIA amongst others. 

In 2014 I co-developed a growth tracking program for grower pigs called GainMax and I’m currently working on new software approaches to growth monitoring. In my whole career I have always had much attention on pigs in growth. In 2018 I became a farmer by taking over the family farm (9th generation) where we fatten RWA (Raised Without Antibiotics) pigs. In 2018 I became an owner at NutriSuin where we produce feed aimed at weaning piglets without antibiotics and extra zinc.
