国家遗传项目使猪肉行业获益

　　CANADA - A University of Guelph professor will play a key role in a new $9.8-million national research project to enhance Canada’s pork industry. Bonnie Mallard, a pathobiology professor in the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) is part of a team that will develop genomics tools for selecting pigs able to resist multiple diseases, improving animal health and food quality and safety. The researchers recently received funding from Genome Canada’s “Genomics and Feeding the Future” large-scale project competition. “Professor Mallard will help to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the pork industry, which is a vital part of Canada’s agri-food sector and economy,” said Malcolm Campbell, vice-president (research).

　　加拿大——圭尔夫大学的教授将会发挥重要作用，在一个新的加强加拿大猪肉行业的投资9.8美元的国家研究项目中。安大略省兽医学院(OVC)的病理学教授邦妮﹒玛拉德(Bonnie Mallard)是团队的一员，团队将开发基因组学工具来选择能够抵抗多种疾病的猪，提高动物卫生和食品质量和安全。加拿大研究人员最近收到来自基因组的“基因组学和喂养未来”大型项目竞赛的资金。“玛拉德教授将致力于提高猪肉行业的竞争力和可持续发展水平，这是加拿大的农产品行业和经济的重要组成部分，” 副总裁马尔科姆坎贝尔说 (研究)。
