 | | The long term vision for research is focused on three areas, namely nutrition/nutritional biochemistry, monogastric production systems and ruminant production systems. |
 | | The monogastric, also known as simple-stomached, animal types most commonly used in Canada for food production include layer and broiler chickens and swine. |
 | | Research on monogastric production systems explores methods of achieving one or more of the following: optimization of performance, reduction in input costs, improvement in environmental impacts, improvement in animal well-being and health, and altered animal product composition and quality. |
