Congratulations to UofG's Dairy Challenge team that competed in the 2025 North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge this week in Gainesville, Florida. Our team did UofG proud with a first-place finish!
This year's team included Gillian Forestell, Tim Hoogendoorn, Lauren Hoonaard, and Emmeline te Bokkel, and was coached by Dr. Trevor DeVries (Dept. Animal Biosciences).
Our graduate students represented the Department of Animal Biosciences and the UofG well, and were very successful, at the Western Canadian Dairy Seminar in Red Deer, AB (March 4-7, 2025). A total of 11 research posters were displayed by UofG students, and 3 students were chosen (of 5 total) to participate in the student oral research presentation competition. In that oral presentation competition, Jessica Brasier from the DeVries lab won first place for her presentation on training of dairy heifers to a robotic milking system.
Attention ABSc Graduate Students,
Are you doing some cool Animal Biosciences research? Come share your hard work and enthusiasm at the THIRD ANNUAL OMAFRA ABSc GRADUATE STUDENT SYMPOSIUM! There will be opportunities for oral podium presentations or poster presentations. There will be prizes for oral and poster presentations, and opportunities to network with OMAFRA staff, UofG faculty, and your fellow graduate students.
