1 Sustainable Beef Production The Canadian Way Anya Westland Agricultural Educator Award 2013 Farmers Club Charitable Trust
2 Sustainable Beef Production The Canadian Way Project Background Objectives of scholarship Key Drivers & outcomes Personal achievements and benefits Benefits to the college and students Thank you s!
3 Project Background Beef production in UK how can it remain viable? Greatest challenges for next generation make red meat production more sustainable Lower carbon footprint per kg meat AND produce an affordable, healthy product
4 Project Background Current research on - quantifying environmental impacts of beef production Difficult due to varied nature of breeds and systems. Many improvements can be made using - genetics, choice of systems and feeds utilised. Main focus is on efficiency of beef production
5 Objectives of 5 day trip to Alberta & Saskatchewan To identify new sustainable production techniques that could be adapted to UK systems Create links with University of Saskatchewan Identify potential for Canadian student study tour
6 Day Visit 1 2 Battleford Experimental Feed Mill, Battleford, SK Western Beef Development Centre, Lanagan, SK Tour of University of Saskatchewan teaching and research facilities for dairy, pig, poultry, sheep and beef as well as arable with a view to student study tour and potential research links. 3 Interview with John Wright Agri- Feed Industry in Saskatoon Tour of University of Saskatchewan Veterinary School and Goodale farm with Steve Hendrick 4 Interview with Professor John McKinnon of University of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Chair Interview with Dr Tom Scott Associate Professor & Research Chair in Feed Processing 5 Interview with Greg Penner, Lead Researcher in Beef Production, University of Saskatchewan 6 Farm visit - Brian Corey, Corey farms and Northland Livestock Haulage south Saskatoon Farm Visit Clarke Ward, Ward s Red Angus, south Saskatoon
7 What are their key drivers? Decline in Canadian cow numbers BSE Increased demand for cereals / land for biofuels & Potash Increased feed, fuel & fertiliser costs Reduced labour due to oil production
8 Key Outcomes Canadian producers are focusing on sustainable production cycle Techniques to reduce labour, machinery, fertiliser and feed costs Extended grazing season Reduced manure handling Focus on soil fertility and native grasses Ward Red Angus, Saskatoon (2013) Source: Authors own
9 Key Outcomes Applied research for forage based beef systems Research on cow-calf operations (suckler cow systems) Focus on breeding, nutrition and animal health Disseminate information to farmers in press and on open days Advisory committee made up of 70% farmers who meet twice p.a. agree research goals and projects to be undertaken
10 Personal achievements Made contact with key industry players in Saskatchewan Enhanced knowledge of sustainable beef production systems Increased my confidence to undertake greater role in applied research Benefits Role in Myerscough changed away from management to Lead Agricultural Researcher and Senior Lecturer Successfully secured three commercial funded livestock research projects Involved in new Innovation & Technology centre
11 Benefits to Myerscough and students
12 Benefits to Myerscough and students Created links with UoS for future exchange & internship programmes Canadian student study tour planned and booked for May 2015 Ward Red Angus, Saskatoon (2013) Source: Authors own
13 Thank you to the following organisations who made this experience possible. Myerscough College & Agricultural Educator Award 2013 Farmers Club Charitable Trust And finally - Thank you to my husband Kevin Westland for driving many km s and my best friend John Smillie for helping me with contacts for the trip
