The new Canada’s Food Guide has created controversies about milk and alternatives consumption by removing it as a stand-alone food group. Recent evidence shows an inverse relationship between consumption of dairy products and risk of osteoporosis. However, evidence on the association between milk and dairy consumption and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have provided […]

In this partnership, researchers from the University of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre aim to work collectively to create a novel type of “whole-cell” flours from Canadian pulses, such as pea, chickpea, and faba bean. In comparison with conventional pulse flours obtained from dry milling/grinding, the new pulse flours are anticipated to […]

Recent estimates of agricultural land on the Canadian prairies suggest that 1 million ha are affected by moderate to severe soil salinity. These areas are not suitable for seeding annual grain crops. Perennial forages have the potential to remediate saline soils through salt ion uptake, lowering the water table, improved soil biological activity, and weed […]

A disturbing number of aggregate pop-out cases have recently been observed in newly poured concrete throughout the City of Saskatoon. A “pop-out” is a small, often cone-shaped void in a horizontal concrete surface left after a near-surface aggregate particle has fractured. Aggregate pop-outs can accelerate the deterioration of concrete sidewalks and can result in safety […]

This project will develop a business or social enterprise plan to scale up the existing truth and reconciliation work to meet growing demand from the community, seeking the objectives of accessibility […]

SARS-CoV-2 appears to be poised to become endemic, meaning that we can expect continuous risk of exposure to infection. Despite highly effective vaccines, people still become infected, and some people become severely ill. Antivirals that can reduce symptoms and decrease the levels and duration of infection can aid in reducing onward transmission of the virus. […]

After being bred, sows are commonly housed in individual stalls, which restricts their movement and impacts their well-being. For this reason, Canadian farmers are transitioning to housing sows in groups where sows have social interaction and greater movement. Groups can be formed right after breeding, with either a constant group (static: the same sows remain […]

Renewable hybrid power plants are in the research stages. We feel we are able to design a perpetual (24 hours, 7 days a week guaranteed) renewable power plant that can be easily dispatchable. The marketing development intern will be working on getting this project market ready. We are needing to create a website with supportive […]

During the proposed summer research project, the intern will be working together with researchers from the University of Saskatchewan Western College of Veterinary Medicine and a Saskatoon-based engineering company, RMD Engineering. The intern will test the initial prototype of a novel cooling boot intended to reduce and maintain hoof temperature below 10oC (continuous digital hypothermia). […]
