Scientists do a deep dive into molecular biomarkers of sperm with protein synthesis to solve problems across species
Southern Alberta researchers make ground-breaking discovery in sperm function examining male infertility in bovines
Gene editing against classical swine fever
A gene-edited pig in the U.K. is resistant to classical swine fever; the same technology could be used for a solution to bovine viral diarrhea in cattle
British scientists have discovered a gene edit that could provide resistance to classical swine fever in pigs and bovine viral diarrhea in cattle

Prolonged drought causes unprecedented productivity loss: Study
Colorado State University — Extreme, prolonged drought conditions in grasslands and shrublands would greatly limit the long-term health of crucial ecosystems that cover nearly half the planet, says new research published in the journal Science. “Climate change is bringing more severe and longer-lasting droughts to many locations around the world. Some ecosystems have shown resilience
‘Everything is tuberculosis,’ ag funding debates included
Even in this advanced technological age, our tools against tuberculosis in both people and cattle still date back to the dawn of germ theory
Tools available against tuberculosis, in people and cattle alike, still appear to date back to the dawn of germ theory, showing a gap still exists between public interest and commercial profitability when it comes to innovations in human and animal health.
When ag science meets ag culture
Reporter’s Notebook: With traditional agricultural practices of Indigenous peoples gaining scientific backing, a mindset shift may become more possible
Long overdue it may be, but the wider farming and ag science communities are now earnestly revisiting “ancient” techniques, rooted in the principle of maintaining natural balance, for use in contemporary gardening, cropping and livestock husbandry, Janelle Rudolph writes.
Acid-friendly alfalfa varieties under development
Agriculture and Agri-food Canada researchers breeding alfalfa tolerant to acidic soils, drought and flooding
A new alfalfa variety from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada addresses the crop’s preference for ideal conditions by expanding the pH range in which it can be effectively grown, while bringing yield benefits.
Detector in development to spot fusarium head blight’s signature toxin
A portable machine to identify contaminated kernels is an eventual goal for research at the University of Saskatchewan
A portable machine that would allow wheat growers to identify kernels contaminated with fusarium head blight’s signature mycotoxin is in development at the University of Saskatchewan.
