Celebrating 10 Years of the Saputo Dairy Care Program
In 2015, the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) and the Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare (CCSAW) launched the Saputo Dairy Care Program with a commitment of $500,000 from Saputo. Ten years later, the world’s first and only formal dairy cattle welfare training program for veterinarians is celebrating Saputo’s second investment renewal that will bring the company’s total support for dairy cattle welfare at OVC to $1.75 million.

Bringing Justice to the Barn
Veterinary forensics may sound like something out of a TV crime show, but for Dr. Shane Bateman and Gayle Ecker, Director of Equine Guelph, it’s a crucial, real-world tool to improve animal welfare—particularly for horses. Thanks to a CCSAW (Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare) mini-grant, the two have teamed up to launch a unique educational initiative that aims to give veterinarians the knowledge and confidence they need to take an active role in identifying and responding to cases of animal cruelty and neglect.
