Science Day 2013 at Prairie Swine Centre
Posted in: Press Releases by admin on August 20, 2013
Another successful Science Day at Prairie Swine Centre was recently held on Friday, August 16.
Each year students, employed over the summer, at Prairie Swine Centre have an opportunity to present the results of research projects they have been working on this summer. The afternoon focused on six presentations covering topics ranging from grouping sows after weaning, bovine colostrum for piglets, Zinc Oxide nanoparticle air filtering and levels of creep feed intake on commercial farms.
In addition to Prairie Swine Centre presentations two guests from the University of Saskatchewan were invited to participate in Science Day. Dr Ianowski gave us an insight into how “Pig as a Model” has been used in his Cystic Fibrosis research and how he has worked with Prairie Swine Centre over the the past three years. Finishing the afternoon was Dr Gerdts from VIDO-InterVac, who gave an overview of the new InterVac Level 3 facilities on the campus and the influence they will have on animal and human health.
The 2013 Science Day was a great success and provided the students a great opportunity to highlight their accomplishments throughout the summer. Science_Day_2013
