Ryan Trawford

Having lived overseas as a child in Malaysia, Yemen and Botswana, Ryan grew up with a background of animals, animal welfare and wildlife conservation through watching his dad at work as a vet. Ryan has worked full time at The Donkey Sanctuary since 2009. In 2009 he started work as a Laboratory Technician in the Pathology Laboratory at The Donkey Sanctuary performing haematology, biochemistry and parasitology tests on blood and dung samples from resident donkeys at The Donkey Sanctuary. These tests were also performed on blood and dung samples sent from external vet practices for donkeys all around the UK. In his current role Ryan is an anatomical Pathology Technician where he now carries out post mortems on the donkeys at the Donkey Sanctuary.
