With a swing of her axe, St茅phanie B茅langer-Naud, FMT鈥�14, BSc(AgEnvSc)鈥�17, regularly bites out large chunks from totem-like wooden poles, and, handling a single buck saw, slices through pine logs the size of sewer pipes. She's no slouch when it comes to a chain saw, either. A professional female timbersports athlete, or lumberjill, she excels at an axe event called the underhand chop. It involves hacking at a log she stands on, and breaking it in two, which she is capable of completing in 31 seconds.

Au premier abord, l鈥檌nitiative surprend聽: remplacer la moul茅e traditionnelle destin茅e 脿 la volaille par une alimentation 脿 base de brocoli ou de chou.

Peut-on am茅nager une 茅table pour offrir un plus grand bien-锚tre aux animaux qui y passent leur vie聽? Des chercheurs se penchent sur la question.

Environ 90聽% des fermes laiti猫res au Qu茅bec recourent 脿 la stabulation entrav茅e. Selon cette formule, les vaches m猫nent toutes leurs activit茅s dans la stalle聽: elles y mangent, y dorment et s鈥檡 font traire. D鈥檕霉 l鈥檌mportance de leur fournir un espace favorable au bien-锚tre.

Some unique buffalo calves were born at the Ontario Buffalo Company in Stirling, ON. Their genetic mothers were only 4 months of age at the time their oocytes were collected by laparoscopy, fertilized and cultured in vitro and implanted one week later in adult recipients that carried the pregnancies to term. All procedures except the transfer to the recipient cows were conducted at the Large Animal Research Unit (LARU) in Macdonald Campus, under supervision of Drs.
