New Website – Easier, faster access to information
Posted in: Press Releases by admin on February 7, 2011
The Centre’s Mandate ‘To produce and distribute knowledge derived through original research, scientific review and economic analysis’ has been substantially reinforced with the redesign of the Centre’s website. With over 5800 production research articles, and virtually every publication published by the Centre in the past 15 years, the website has become a truly one-stop shop for pork production information.
Communication with every aspect of the pork industry is an integral part of why Prairie Swine Centre exists, notes Lee Whittington, President of Prairie Swine Centre. “Although you cannot replace face-to-face meetings and telephone conversations as vehicles for helping individuals to adopt new technology, the internet is the clear winner when you are seeking speed and efficiency of communicating technical subjects.” The website can be found at www.prairieswine.com.
The new website is easier to navigate; for example finding our publications or contacting our researchers can be done in a single click. Lowering cost of production will never go out of style and for that reason the many articles and publications on this subject are grouped together on the home page under the large Survival Strategies STOP sign icon. The real power of the website lies in its new search engine capability. To quickly find relevant articles on a wide variety of technical papers, we have summarized the scientific papers, and made them searchable with PorkInsight a modern search engine. The goal is to assist you in assessing whether or not the new science or management findings can help you on your farm – quickly.
Prairie Swine Centre Inc., located near Saskatoon, is a non-profit research corporation affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan, and is recognized globally for its contributions to practical, applied science in pork production in the disciplines of nutrition, engineering and applied animal behaviour.
