Saskatoon, Canada have signed an agreement to formalize cooperation in swine
nutrition research. Through this agreement both organisations aim to further

Swine Centre, this agreement will enhance the effectiveness to
communicate research data to various industry stakeholders including
pork producers and the feed industry.

cooperationDr. Piet van der Aar from Schothorst looks
forward to the value they can obtain through a closer working relationship with
Prairie Swine Centre. "The cooperation with the team at Prairie Swine Centre, we
will get a fresh view of how another organization approaches taking industry
needs and developing solutions in a low cost and efficient manner" van der Aar
added.
In the beginning, the cooperative effort will focus on the
evaluation of feed ingredients and the nutritional requirements for various
classes of swine. This will include having scientists aware of research at the
other institution, opportunities for doing joint research and technology
transfer functions and even co-location of personnel.
