The Research Chair in Swine Welfare at the University of Saskatchewan has been renewed following investments by fourteen industry partners committing more than $1 million over five years to extend this critical research role. The Research Chair is led by Dr. Yolande Seddon. The objectives for the Research Chair are currently being developed, so check back soon for updates!

Dr. Seddon is an Associate Professor at the University of Saskatchewan Western College of Veterinary Medicine with specialized training in animal behaviour and scientific assessment of animal welfare. Her research career has focused on addressing welfare challenges in farmed swine. Her previous research has involved the management of sows in group housing, pain control, early disease detection, and high welfare farrowing systems.
