WCVM researchers have developed a syndromic sequencing panel (BovReproSeq) for the simultaneous detection of 17 pathogens associated with bovine reproductive failure. Photo: Christina Weese A collaboration between researchers at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) and Prairie Diagnostic Services Inc. (PDS) has resulted in the creation of an innovative genomic sequencing tool for detecting multiple pathogens associated with bovine reproductive failure. Bovine reproductive failure,...
The next phase of a University of Saskatchewan (USask) research initiative aims to sequence the entire genome of beef cattle for the selection of optimum physical and behavioural traits and create a Canadian genetic database — two ambitious goals that will have a significant impact on the country’s beef cattle industry.
The new facility will allow USask to offer a new high-throughput genome sequencing service for western Canadian beef cattle producers and researchers.

Ontario farmers raise more than half of Canada’s goats. Alliance-funded research is identifying animals with stronger immune responses to common parasites to help Ontario producers breed for healthier and more productive herds. Keeping Ontario goats healthy is the main goal of an ongoing gut worm study by University of Guelph researchers.
The team hopes to help producers and veterinarians better combat infection by gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs), which affect nearly all Ontario goat farms,...
