L’objectif général de ce projet est de réduire les apports en protéine brute (PB) en optimisant son utilisation par les animaux, en ajustant, aussi précisément que possible, les apports aux besoins des animaux afin d’éviter une réduction des performances lors de la baisse de PB. Cela permettra de réduire les rejets d’azote, mais pourrait également […]

For decades, drying sub-alpine fir and yellow spruce is known as an unmanageable task mainly due to the high moisture variation and the presence of wet-wood that result in a broad spread of moisture in kiln-dried timbers. For this reason, a considerable portion of under-dried and over-dried wood can be observed in kiln-dried subalpine fir […]

In a world where animal health and welfare are receiving increasing attention, it is crucial that we understand and support livestock farmers who are under an incredible amount of stress.

This project is in response to an immediate market opportunity that shows an increasing demand for pulse-based flours as a substitute for animal protein and or for gluten-free diets. A strong red-orange color in products containing lentil flour is a current market demand. We will establish important characteristics in lentil varieties under field conditions, as […]

Information on effective environmental enrichments for young pigs is needed to promote pig health and welfare and to support Canadian producers in meeting the Code of Practice requirement for enrichment provision. Most environmental enrichment studies have focused on market pigs as they are prone to damaging behaviours such as tail biting. However, studies suggest that […]
