U-of-L researcher earns funding for critical studies within the beef industry
LETHBRIDGE, AB. – Alberta’s new Results Driven Agricultural Research (RDAR) fund will be supporting the work of a University of Lethbridge researcher, with $700,000 over two years.
Research Associate, Dr. Kim Stanford, will continue her research studies that support the beef industry. As well, funding from the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) will allow Stanford and her collaborators to produce a series of podcasts called ‘Cows on the Planet’.
Stanford explains the funding allows her to continue work investigating cattle feed and food-borne pathogens. All of which will provide beneficial information.
“My research looks at ways of improving detection and control of pathogenic E. coli and ways to reduce ergot in cattle feed. The Cows on the Planet podcast will provide science-based information to Canadians to help them understand the cattle industry in a balanced way.”
