Genomics and other omics tools in biological science such as phenomics, microbiomics, proteomics involve the study of the appearance, structure and behaviour of animals, their microbiomes and cell proteins. Researchers have made tremendous progress in these areas over the past decade, and they can now use these advanced tools for extensive livestock production, he said. The beef cattle industry is tremendously important in the West, with Saskatchewan and Alberta accounting for 70 per cent of Canada’s beef production, Adams said. Consequently, even incremental changes in performance translate into big gains in economic value and job growth. Adams’ Integrated omics for sustainable animal agriculture and environmental stewardship (IntegrOmes) project has been awarded $6.75 million over five years by the Canada Foundation for Innovation , with another $10.1 million expected from institutional partners, private industry and vendor in-kind
Our new genomic and imaging technology allows us to look at little molecules like DNA and microbes . opening a window that we never could see through before, Adams said. It s going to open up a lot of possibilities that we can t imagine at the moment. The project, called Integrated omics for sustainable animal agriculture and environmental stewardship (IntegrOmes), collects big sets of data like genetic information from animals and helps connect it with physical traits, he said. That means a farmer can soon pluck a hair from an animal, feed it into a hand-held device, and get a detailed assessment of the animal s genetic traits that was once unimaginable. With the information, farmers can spot resistances to maladies like bovine respiratory disease one of cattle s biggest killers, Adams said.
