Karen Schwartzkopf-Genswein, who is a nationally and internationally respected researcher of beef cattle health and welfare, has been awarded the 2017 Canadian Beef Industry Award for Outstanding Research and Innovation.
Dr. Schwartzkopf-Genswein is a senior research scientist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Lethbridge and holds adjunct appointments at several universities.
“Dr. Karen Schwartzkopf- Genswein has made an incredibly positive impact on the Canadian beef industry by successfully navigating, engaging and influencing at all levels,” says Bryan Thiessen, chair of the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) and manager of Namaka Farms near Strathmore. “Without her dedication, the beef industry would be challenged to develop a scientific base that allows beef consumers to maintain a high level of confidence in our farming and ranching operations.”
