12 Alberta Chicken Producers Research Priorities 1. Animal Health and Welfare Chick Quality (from egg handling and incubation, to farm management) Understanding links between chick quality, health, and welfare Methods to increase % of high quality chicks Managing poor quality chicks Management without antibiotics (challenges with weight uniformity, disease outbreaks, and feed ingredients) Nutritional and management means of promoting bird health Addressing leg and footpad health through nutrition and management strategies Farm to processing welfare (barn preparation, culling strategies, handling during bird catching and transfer to processing, cold/hot weather transport) Strategies to reduce cellulitis 2. Food Safety Salmonella and Campylobacter control Pathogen control and reduction strategies (i.e. nutrition, biosecurity, feed preparation, cultivating healthy barn bacteria, disease surveillance) Links between pathogens, chick quality, and improved food safety Improved methods to clean barns and process birds from salmonella-positive flocks (practical, cost-effective focus) 3. Uniformity and quality of live birds and product Increased processed meat quality (i.e. breast muscle defects, cellulitis) Management and nutritional means to improve bird uniformity, carcass composition, and quality Impact of lower-value feed ingredients and feed form on growth and quality 4. Industry sustainability and social commitment Environmentally and socially responsible production and processing Environmental impact of poultry production practices (i.e. water quality, environmental footprint) By-product utilization Maintaining consumer trust (i.e. social licence, worker health and safety)

18 Strategic Issues & Research Focus
19 Specifically, as an industry we aim to: Increase pulse yields by 20% by 2027, with continued low cost of production Increase utilization of pulses As ingredients in product categories such as analogues and extruded products by 5-10% by 2023 As ingredients in new markets such as aquafeed (10%), industrial uses (10%) and pet food (20%) by 2023 As whole food by 10% in 2023 To have a pulse crop option for every aerable acre in Canada by 2027 Target Research Outcomes from Grower Perspective
20 1. Whole Pulse Production and Quality Priorities Breeding, agronomy, and processing technologies to increase yields, reduce costs, expand production, and improve Canadian pulse quality for existing and new markets Yield and disease resistance Designing resilient cropping systems Reducing production constraints (eg. decision making tools) Identifying relevant metrics (challenging public databases being used) Improve protein quality Reduce pea flavor and paler color Reduce ANFs (e.g. vicine and convicine in Faba beans) Understand effect of GxE on nutritional composition Establish best practices for standard nutritional quality measurements for whole pulses Prioritization of Pulse Research Areas
21 2. Pulse Ingredient Processing Priorities Pre-competitive research to explore new technologies or approaches to address pulse utilization challenges and questions 3. Pulse-Based Food Products Pre-competitive research on generic products to fuel interest in new uses and marketing opportunities AND partnerships with CPG companies to accelerate pulse product commercialization 4. Dietary Patterns Theoretical modelling and/or clinical data to substantiate impacts of dietary patterns that emphasize pulses on food affordability/security, diet quality human health outcomes, health care costs and environment Prioritization of Pulse Research Areas

26 Egg Farmers of Alberta Research Priorities
27 Research Priorities: Reduction of Salmonella spp. in the Alberta egg supply chain Development of practical programs to use vaccines (including in ovo if feasible), competitive exclusion, probiotics, prebiotics, or other products delivered in the feed or water; and Analyze environmental surveillance data to describe the temporal and spatial trends in Alberta pullet and layer barns and evaluate potential risk factors for contamination. 2. Feather cover in laying hens Development of objective systems or protocols for feather scoring that align with established feather scoring methods but allow for simple collection of data on statistically significant samples by producers as part of routine inspections; Generation of comparative data from a robust sampling framework that can be used as an indicator of industry standards and establishment of appropriate key performance indicators; and Development of benchmarking tools that allow producers to compare scores to other industry flocks, aiding self-assessment, and providing guidance on addressing risk factors and improving performance on feather cover. 3. Beak treatment Research focused on the impact of breed on beak treatment outcomes as well as the root cause of injurious pecking and the potential for genetic selection and breed choice to reduce the problem; Projects focused on benchmarking and decreasing the incidence of abnormalities including development of technologies and processes to automate the process to decrease human error and/or abnormalities that result from bird variability; and Exploring and demonstrating the effectiveness of management strategies that can reduce aggressive feather pecking behavior in the context of Alberta production parameters
28 Research Priorities: Reducing ammonia emissions in the context of worker and animal health and nutrient use efficiency Generation and demonstration of feeding strategies that improve nitrogen use efficiency, are applicable in the context of available Alberta feedstuffs, and have a clearly demonstrated value proposition that exceeds the cost at an individual layer producer level; Piloting and demonstration of ammonia removal technology that generates local data on the effectiveness, affordability, reliability, and production impacts of the technology; and Exploration of alternative in-barn manure management strategies, particularly in alternative systems that mitigate that need for increased manure handling. Development of actionable data that will enable uptake of voluntary practices by layer producers by facilitating access to Carbon Offsets protocols (ex. numbers related to "before" and "after" practice changes, baseline emissions numbers for Alberta practices, etc.). 5. Pullet housing Research that contributes to the body of knowledge relating to appropriate standards for pullet rearing (density, feed and water space requirements, amenity space requirement in alternative systems, etc.).
