Objective
LOIs that align with the overarching research objective of:
- Test potential improvements to swine industry practices
- Assessing greenhouse gas emissions from swine barns
All research projects that align with the above objectives will be considered, but not limited to, swine health, swine welfare, swine nutrition, swine husbandry, swine reproduction, barn design and management, employee health and safety, meat quality and safety, marketing and consumer trends and environmental and economic sustainability. Highest priority is given to projects that demonstrate scientific merit as well as strong identification of the benefit of project results to Ontario pork producers and an indication of input or support of a project from swine industry members outside of academia.
