Researchers at the University of Guelph have
identified a link between dairy cow herd health and farmer mental wellbeing.
Dr. Trevor DeVries, a professor in the Animal Biosciences and Canada Research Chair in Dairy Cattle Behaviour and Welfare, worked alongside Dr. Meagan King, who was a postdoctoral researcher at the time and the lead author on the research. She’s now an assistant professor in animal physiology and welfare at the University of Manitoba.
