DESCRIPTION:Dairy industries world-wide face the challenge of maximizing pr
 oduction while\, at the same time\, producing the highest quality products
  in a sustainable manner that reflects consumers’ expectations. One import
 ant factor in doing so is an understanding of the dairy cow's comfort and 
 welfare needs.\n\nProf. Elsa Vasseur has been appointed as Industrial Rese
 arch Chair in Sustainable Life of Dairy Cattle. The Chair\, in the Departm
 ent of Animal Science\, is a five-year\, $1.8 million joint venture funded
  by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC
 )\, Novalait\, Dairy Farmers of Canada\, and Valacta.\n\nCombining researc
 h from animals on the Macdonald Campus dairy farm with data from Valacta\,
  an on-Campus Quebec-based organization that gathers and analyzes data abo
 ut dairy farming best practices across Eastern Canada\, Vasseur’s research
  team will develop well-being indicators in cows\, working toward evidence
  that comfort and longevity are advantageous both economically and environ
 mentally.\n\nThe official launch of the Industrial Research Chair will be 
 held on May 26\, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.\, at the Macdonald Campus dairy fa
 rm. The ceremony will be followed by tours of the dairy facility\, demonst
 rations of student research\, and a BBQ luncheon.\n\nWhen:              Ma
 y 26\, 2016\, 10 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.\n\nWhere:            R. Howard Webster C
