ANAC is pleased to showcase the research of Canadian graduate students in animal science and nutrition during the ANCC Graduate Student Competition, to be held at the Animal Nutrition Conference of Canada 2023 in Montreal. This competition includes two components: the oral presentation competition and the poster competition.
Oral Presentation Competition winner – monogastric
Dietary inclusion of black soldier fly larvae meal (Hermetia illucens) promotes gut microbiota diversity in laying hens
Oral Presentation Competition winner – ruminant
Effects of lipid supplementation on milk composition and butter properties
Poster Competition candidates – monogastric
