| For organic poultry production to increase, suitable solutions must be available for disease preventions and control that meet organic standards. The purpose of the present work was to discuss progress being made in evaluating the potential for utilizing cranberry as an immune-modulatory agent in organic broiler chickens production. Investigations on cranberry compounds could lead to the development of a feeding strategy for organic chicken production to improve the bird health and immunity and on-farm food safety while reducing use of antibiotics (in conventional operations). Based on the above data, it is clear that additional research will unlock the full potential of cranberry and other fruits pomaces and how best to use them as feed ingredient for... |

| In this paper we provide an overview of the goals and potential benefits of a national science program for organic agriculture in Canada from 2013-2018 (application currently under review). The “Organic Science Cluster II (OSCII): Science With Impact for Profitability, Sustainability and Competitiveness” is linked with Canada’s Organic Value Chain Roundtable, the think tank addressing priorities for increasing capacity and market development for organic. OSCII will increase competitiveness by addressing barriers that are constraining production and by capturing new market opportunities such as emerging crops, aquaculture, and ornamental horticulture. OSCII will be coordinated and managed by the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada at Dalhousie University’s... |
