In February, Alberta Beef Producers hosted researchers from across Canada, who presented the findings of several studies partially funded by ABP.
This spring, we’re sharing highlights from these studies in a new series of articles that pinpoint why this research matters to beef producers.
Connecting feed efficiency to weather resilience – Research in progress led by Gleise Medeiros da Silva, University of Alberta.
Getting the science on rest stops – Research led by Karen Schwartzkopf-Genswein and Daniela Meléndez, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
