He plays a role in data collection to supply the breeding program with phenotypes from the sib-commercial environment and processing plant, and is also involved in the development of special R&D projects.

 
The Centre for Genetic Improvement of Livestock welcomes all interested University of Guelph staff, faculty, students, and industry or academic collaborators to attend our CGIL Seminars, which are held on  Friday afternoons throughout the Fall and Winter semesters. The meetings are always available remotely via Fuze, for those unable to attend in person, and presentation recordings may also be available after the seminar.
