The University of Guelph has been chosen to house a new "virtual centre" for leading Canadian scientists in poultry behaviour and welfare.
A joint initiative of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), the Poultry Industry Council and the Canadian Poultry Research Council, the Centre will be led by welfare experts from the department of Animal and Poultry Science and U of G's Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare. Under the partnership agreement, AAFC has assigned research scientist, Stephanie Torrey, to the department of Animal and Poultry Science. Torrey, a behavioural and animal welfare expert, will assist in graduate teaching and training and in improving communication and collaboration among Canadian animal welfare experts.
