Ontario Pork Call for Proposals 2022
Description
Ontario Pork has announced a call for Letters of Intent (LOI) for research projects that focus on the Ontario swine industry and meet the overarching research objective: “Test potential improvements to swine industry practices”.
All research projects that align with this objective will be considered, including, 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.
Indirect Costs
