DFO LAUNCHES 2020 MILK AND COOKIES CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT SICKKIDS AND OTHER CHILDREN’S HOSPITALS

The Milk and Cookies holiday campaign is back for a second year in support of Ontario children’s hospitals. This year, to take it a step further, Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) is rallying Ontarians to show support for the children in hospitals, their families and front-line medical workers who can’t be home for the holidays—with a new, exciting activation.
 
On Dec. 1, 2020, DFO kicked off its Milk and Cookies campaign with the #FillUpWithLove initiative, launching its 18-foot, interactive milk glass structure in the Winter Village at the Distillery District in Toronto.
 
DFO's giant milk glass won't be filled up with milk, but with virtual messages of love and support.

Video: Season 6, Episode 10: Defining Resiliency and the Research Driving Swine Health Forward

Genetic research and new technologies continue to influence the future of swine health and production efficiency. In this episode, we explore how research and technology are being used to support stronger, more resilient pigs, while also improving overall production outcomes. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger, geneticist with Topigs Norsvin, to discuss both routine and emerging strategies for improving piglet, pig, and sow livability. She outlines two primary approaches to enhancing resiliency: gene editing and traditional selective breeding. Continuing the resiliency conversation, we also hear from Dr. Lucina Galina, director of technical research projects at the Pig Improvement Company. She shares insights into ongoing gene-editing work focused on PRRS, detailing the pathway to success, regulatory and practical considerations, and the questions that still remain as the technology evolves. Together, these conversations provide a closer look at how research, genetics and innovation are shaping the future of swine health and livability.
