Researchers at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), University of Guelph are studying joint health in horses and the regenerative possibilities of stem cell therapy to help unlock answers for our equine companions with the aim to ultimately translate those solutions to human health. Joint pain, once considered an ailment of aging, is now recognized as one of the most common orthopedic conditions in the human and equine world.
Help your audience understand the patterns and key insights hidden within your datasets by transforming them into meaningful and impactful visuals.
This workshop series is a collaboration between the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, the Community Engaged Scholarship Institute (CESI) and the Research Innovation Office at the University of Guelph. See all workshops in the winter 2023 Skills for Research Impact series.
In research funded in part by the Alliance, Meagan King, a former post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Animal Biosciences, and Dr. Trevor DeVries analyzed robotic milking system data from Ontario dairy farms to determine disease-indicating behaviours, such as declines in rumination behaviour and overall activity.
Psigryph, an innovative company built on University of Guelph research into naturally derived nanoparticles to deliver nutrition and medicine into cells, has been named one of Canada’s most investable cleantech firms by cleantech accelerator Foresight Canada.
Psigryph‘s success is growing internationally thanks in part to several funding and entrepreneurship programs, including support from the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, a collaboration between the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and U of G.
Submit your proposal or attend the town hall information session at noon on Wednesday, March 1.
The Alliance's Knowledge Translation and Transfer (KTT) Funding Program aims to accelerate the impact of agri-food and rural research.
Applications are open for two funding streams:
Three U of G projects funded by the Alliance and Grain Farmers of Ontario investigate:
In this research funded in part by the Alliance, Dr. Wanhong Yang, Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics at the University of Guelph, created a GIS modelling tool that addresses the complexity of a typical watershed evaluation for beneficial management practices (BMPs), along with a user-friendly system developed for creating BMP scenarios and evaluating their effects and outcomes.
New cultivars developed by Dr. Istvan Rajcan's soybean breeding program offer enhanced value and opportunities for value-added markets, as well as genetic resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and white mould.
Graduate student and 2020 Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) Scholar Deus Mugabe is evaluating the genetic causes for white mould resistance in Ontario soybeans.
New University of Guelph research has been shown to improve existing surveillance measures for preventing Salmonella outbreaks.
At the 2023 Ontario Agricultural Conference, Sikkema talked about keeping soybeans weed-free and how to deal with herbicide-resistant fleabane and waterhemp in corn and soybean.
