The Resilient Dairy Genome Project (RDGP) is a Large-Scale Applied Research Project funded by Genome Canada. The overall aim of the project is to enhance Canadian dairy industry sustainability by integrating genomic approaches to improve dairy cattle resilience.
ABSc Profs John Cant and Michael Steele were a part of two discussion panels hosted by Food, Agricultural and Economics (FARE) faculty Mike Von Massow, in collaboration with Dairy at Guelph, to help clarify what we know, don't know, and need to know about the recent controversies around the texture of butter and questions about palm-based feed supplements for cows.
