Saskatchewan Finds New Cases Of Clubroot

An updated version of the Saskatchewan Clubroot Distribution Map was released on Monday.
 
The map identified eight new cases of the disease in roughly the same area of the Province, which now puts the total number of confirmed clubroot cases in Saskatchewan at 51.
 
SaskCanola Chair Lane Stockbrugger says they weren’t surprised by the areas where it showed up.
 
“ To see it as a gradual development I guess is encouraging, because, number one, it means that it didn't end up in places where we weren't expecting it. So that's positive, but it allows us now to look at it and say, where do we need to focus on building those plans with farmers to reduce the spread of it."

Video: Measuring Methane Emissions From Cattle with Unique Technologies

PhD Student Madison Kindberg, and Air Quality Specialist and Professor, Dr. Frank Mitloehner explain the unique Cattle Pen Enclosures and how they will capture emissions from cattle using state of the art technology. The enclosures are well equipped with one-way airflow fans, smart scales, and smart feeds that can tell you what an animal ate, when they ate and how much they ate. All enclosures are connected to one mobile air quality lab which uses gas monitors and analyzers to collect precision data. This data will be used to determine if an early-life methane reducing bolus can reduce emissions from cattle long-term.
