News and Announcements

Prof. Ian Duncan will be making a brief appearance this Saturday on W5 on CTV at 7pm to discuss the issue of animal abuse onl farms in Ontario. 

Prof. Duncan is a pioneer of animal welfare science, and has spent much of his career developing methods of “asking” farm animals what they feel about the conditions in which they are kept and the procedures to which they are subjected; Dr. Duncan has expertise and knowledge of animal welfare in general, and of poultry welfare in particular. 

Prof. Wendy Pearson has been named the new Graduate Coordinator. Prof. Pearson joined ABSc in 2016 as an Assitant Professor and runs a collaborative research program focused on the use of neutraceuticals to treat inflammatory conditions in horses. She also has several years of experience on the Graduate Program Committe and will work closely with outgoing Grad Coordiantor Prof. Niel Karrow until she takes over from him in January 2021.

Thank you to Profs. Karrow and Pearson for their commitment to graduate studies in Animal Biosciences!

This course focuses on learning how to conduct a meta-analysis via experiential learning, via ‘doing’ – the major activity of this course being for students to produce a draft of a publishable meta-analysis paper in their research area by the end of the semester.
