University of Guelph researchers looking to reduce pregnancy losses in dairy cattle are also milking the benefits of a new data portal intended to improve livestock productivity in Ontario.

The dual projects came together at the Ontario Dairy Research Centre (ODRC) in Elora, Ont., which is owned by the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario (ARIO) and managed by the University of Guelph through the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance.

The Alliance hosted four virtual sessions during the fall/winter of 2020/21 that demonstrated how Ontario's agricultural research centres provide a platform for innovative research and collaboration that benefits Ontario’s agri-food sector.

Tune in to Tuesday, February 2 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. to learn about the recently opened Ontario Beef Research Centre located in Elora, Ont. With construction completed in Sept. 2019, this station is now open and can facilitate the latest and most innovative beef-related research during all stages of production.

Participants will hear from Prof. Katie Wood, Animal Biosciences and Matt Bowman, Research Committee Chair, Beef Farmers of Ontario.
