Digital dermatitis is a highly contagious hoof disease in dairy herds. If left untreated it often results in severe lameness, and is highly contagious between animals. In Québec, a recent study showed that 64% of the participating herds had at least one case of digital dermatitis with prevalence variations from 0 to 84% in herds. […]

The need for more sustainable buildings has driven demand for tall mass timber structures in Canada. However, these structures must be designed to prevent structural collapse and protect human life in the event of a large earthquake. As a result, it is crucial that the structural members and their connections be designed to have sufficient […]

Des quantités énormes de Résidus Industriels Forestiers (RIF) sont produites au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde. Les industries peinent à trouver preneur pour ces sous-produits du bois qui sont disposés par incinération avec des coûts élevés.

Spot application of pesticide has economic and environmental benefits. To enable a real-time spraying, the timing of actuation after detecting the pest should be precise to enable hitting the target. One issue in spraying using wide booms is the need to place cameras on the boom itself to avoid possible costly mechanical modifications. As such, […]

Humalite is a naturally occurring organic substance containing high concentrations of humic acid. Humic-based substances are known to improve the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. Therefore, humalite may be an ecological and environmentally friendly soil amendment with a wide variety of end uses across multiple facets of the Canadian agricultural landscape. Large […]
