Nutritive values of feedstuffs used in broiler rations vary significantly. Corn and wheat are theprimary energy sources in many broiler diets, depending on geographical availability. As feed is a largeproportion of live production costs, broiler operations may decrease diet nutrient density to...

The sustainability and profitability of beef cattle production are largely associated with feed efficiency, carcass merit, and resistance to infectious diseases. These traits are difficult or expensive to measure on individual animals, which makes them suitable for genomic application. Currently...

Approximately 70% of the cost of beef production is impacted by dietary intake. Maximizing production efficiency of beef cattle requires not only genetic selection to maximize feed efficiency (i.e. residual feed intake - RFI), but also adequate nutrition throughout all stages of growth and...

Bacterial pathogens are responsible for a number of infectious diseases affecting humans and animals. Peptide based antimicrobial interventions may be an effective means to control pathogens. Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica are foodborne pathogens that are commonly...

A precision feeding (PF) system developed at the University of Alberta is an innovation in precise nutrition and management for broiler breeders. The PF system can automatically feed individual broiler breeders and record vast amounts of real-time data regarding the feeding activity of individual...

Transition dairy cows are susceptible to uterine infections due to the compromised immunity around calving and substantial bacterial contamination in the uterus immediately after calving. Cows with uterine infections are at higher odds of developing other periparturient diseases, resulting in...

The emergence of high-throughput genomic data provides new opportunities for genetic analysis. Especially, in terms of genetic improvement of animals, genomic tools provide new tools for animal selection, while still suffering from some statistical issues due to the high-dimension of the genomic...

Meat products, including ready-to-eat (RTE) ham, fresh poultry meat, and dry pet foods have been associated with several foodborne outbreaks and recalls, due to the occurrence of microbial pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Elimination of these...
