Can Swedish beef production become profitable by learning from Canadian beef production? by Nyman, Sofia

“…To reduce these costs in Sweden there is a need for bigger herds and less demand on the buildings. In Alberta it is enough with windbreakers but in present Swedish production system the animals are housed indoors in expensive buildings. …”

Optimizing a regional white spruce tree improvement program: SNP genotyping for enhanced breeding values, genetic diversity assessment, and estimation of pollen contamination by Galeano, Esteban, Cappa, Eduardo Pablo, Bousquet, Jean, Thomas, Barb R.

“…Our study explores the impact of utilizing 5308 SNP markers to genotype seed orchard parents (166), progeny in progeny trials (667), and seedlot orchard seedlings (780), to simultaneously enhance variance components, breeding values, genetic diversity estimates, and pollen flow in the Region I white spruce (Picea glauca) breeding program in central Alberta (Canada). We compared different individual tree mixed models, including pedigree-based (ABLUP), genomic-based (GBLUP), and single-step pedigree-genomicbased (ssGBLUP) models, to estimate variance components and predict breeding values for the height and diameter at breast height traits. …”

High protein lupins: diversifying the pulse industry in western Canada by Blade, S., Lopetinsky, K., Olson, M., Laflamme, P., Phillips, C.

“…In order to achieve the pulse crop industry’s goal of sustainable annual crop rotations based on a 20-25% legume component, additional pulse crops are developed so that all prairie regions have at least two legume crop choices that provide economic return. Preliminary work in Alberta has indicated that new European genotypes of Lupinus angustifolius L. …”
