The University of Saskatchewan will receive over $1M over the next five years to support the USask Chair in Swine Welfare. The funding comes from 14 partners who work in the pork industry, including producers, processors, and veterinarians. USask Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) Associate Professor Dr Yolande Seddon will continue to provide leadership in swine welfare research and industry expertise as the renewed chair. “Renewed industry support means Dr Seddon and her team have the resources they need for continued research momentum to scientifically assess key questions about swine behaviour and welfare, to help the industry develop practical solutions, and to play a vital role in shaping the future of swine production,” said WCVM Dean Dr Gillian.
