The livestock industry got a big boost from the federal and provincial governments Wednesday.
They announced more than $7.8 million in funding for 26 livestock and forage research projects.
“Our province has a strong and vibrant livestock industry,” Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said in Wednesday’s release. “Today’s investment will ensure producers benefit from research into improved forage varieties, optimization of livestock feeding systems and management of animal diseases.”
Examples of research projects include the efficiency of feed and nutrient status based on the core body temperature of beef cattle, comparing cicer milkvetch varieties and advancing the control of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea.
