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 […]

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 […]
