OVC research aimed at identifying on-farm practices that influence the presence of pathogens on chicken farms is featured in the 2013-2014 Agri-Food Yearbook Edition of the University of Guelph’s Research magazine.
Dr. Michael Eregae recently completed his PhD in the Department of Population Medicine, supported by the Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) scholarship from OMAFRA. The scholarship program — which provides some business background to graduate students conducing research related to agriculture and food — enabled Eregae to complete a work semester at the Chicken Farmers of Ontario.
Eregae’s research is focused on improving poultry farm management and biosecurity practices to control problematic viruses.
