AMERICAN DAIRY SCIENCE ASSOCIATION
92nd Annual Meeting
June 22-25, 1997
University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario
E-mail: 97ADSA@aps.uoguelph.ca
The University of Guelph is pleased to host the 1997 ADSA Annual Meeting, and to
welcome members, families, and guests to its campus, city, and region. The University of Guelph is
a modern university rooted in a long tradition. Although the University was incorporated in 1964,
it actually dates to 1874, when the Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) was established in the City
of Guelph. The Macdonald Institute for household science joined OAC in 1903 and the
Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) moved to the Guelph campus from Toronto in 1922. In 1972,
four additional colleges were created: the College of Biological Science, the College of Arts,
the College of Social Science, and the College of Physical Science, which became the College
of Physical & Engineering Science in 1990. The former Macdonald Institute is now known as
the College of Family and Consumer Studies.
The Departments of Animal & Poultry Science, Food Science, Microbiology, and the
Ontario Veterinary College have major teaching and research programs in dairy production, food
technology, dairy microbiology, and large animal veterinary medicine.
The Department of Animal and Poultry Science has 33 faculty members. The Department
teaches two majors; 80 Animal Biology students (B.Sc.) and 220 Animal Science (B.Sc. Agr) students.
One hundred graduate students are registered in the Master of Science or PhD. programs.
Research in the department is related to beef and dairy cattle, pigs, poultry, and fish with
an emphasis on animal breeding, nutrition, physiology, ethology, molecular genetics, and
meat science. The Centre for Genetic Improvement of Livestock (CGIL), the centre for the study
of Animal Welfare (CSAW), and a Reproductive Innovation and Technologies (RITe) group
are headquartered in the department.
The Department of Food Science has 15 faculty, 65 undergraduate students, and 65
graduate students. Research groups include thermal processing, meat technology, materials science,
fats and oils, food safety, dairy technology, industrial microbiology and food packaging.
Associated with the Department of Food Science are the Guelph Group for Research in Food Safety and
the Guelph Food Technology Centre (GFTC). The GFTC is a modern 85,000 square foot
food technology complex. It is a non-profit, industry-driven corporation currently ready to help
food entrepreneurs and food companies become more competitive.
The University of Guelph is located in the City of Guelph (population 100,000). Located only
70 km west of Toronto, Canada's largest city, Guelph provides for a small town feeling with
ready access to a large city with all of its attractions. Guelph was founded by John Galt in 1827 on
the banks of the Speed and Eramosa Rivers. The City's name is pronounced "Gwelf" and it has
a royal connection: the family of King George IV bore the name "Guelph" in the early Middle
Ages. The city was named after the British Royal Family and is still known at the "The Royal City".
For many years a replica of the crown used in the coronation of British Kings, St.Edward's
Crown, hung over the city's main square. Today, century-old limestone buildings and downtown
avenues are set in natural surroundings of beautiful parks and trails, rivers and rolling hills. Guelph
is known for its rich architectural heritage and its vibrant cultural life.
In this part of the South Western tip of Ontario, the moderating influence of the Great Lakes on
our climate contributes to a diverse agriculture with strong livestock and cash-cropping
systems complementing horticulture, seed crops, tobacco growing, and increasingly successful vineyards.
Milk is, nevertheless, the largest single farmgate commodity in Ontario with sales of
approximately $1.2 billion accounting for 18% of total sales. All milk is marketed through the Dairy Farmers
of Ontario on a supply-managed basis. Approximately 7750 dairy farms with 420,000 dairy
cows (largely Holsteins) were reported to Statistics Canada in January 1996. Almost two thirds of
these cows participate in milk recording programs in support of a vigorous and progressive
dairy breeding industry that promotes a balance between production and conformation. The majority
of milk is processed within the Province with relatively limited exchange of milk and milk
products with other Provinces or countries.
U OF G FACTS
Nestled in the heart of southern Ontario and only 45 minutes from the Toronto Airport, the
University of Guelph's 1,107 acre (412 hectare) campus includes a 408 acre (165 hectare)
arboretum and 30 acre (12 hectare) research park. The University of Guelph campus is renowned for its
tree-lined walkways and limestone architecture. It has received national recognition for high
quality teaching and earned a reputation for innovative research. A commitment to a
student-centered environment and awareness of global challenges make Guelph a leader in Canadian education.
Guelph placed third of all mid-sized Canadian Universities in the annual ranking done
by Macleans' magazine.
The University of Guelph offers programs in physical, biological, agricultural, and social
sciences as well as fine arts, family and consumer studies, business, and veterinary medicine.
Eleven undergraduate and six graduate degrees are offered by the University. Current enrolment
consists of 10,959 full-time and 1,446 part-time undergraduates, and 1,604 graduate students. In
1995, 71.9% of the entering class had admission averages of 80% or more. This same year the
admission average for B.A. students was 78% and for B.Sc. students, 84%. Graduates of the
University and its predecessor colleges now number over 70, 000 and are residents of 115 nations
around the world.
The University of Guelph is committed to international study and knowledge. In addition to
being able to earn a B.A. in International Development, U of G students also have opportunities to
study in other countries. Students can participate in overseas study opportunities in Europe, Africa,
Asia, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand. The University of Guelph also has
development projects on every continent and 65 partner institutions in 30 countries. During the academic
year, there are approximately 550 students from 75 countries studying at Guelph.
With more than $62 million in research funding, Guelph is one of the leaders in Canadian
university research. That research -- ranging from a program geared to improving the future of
economically disadvantaged children to the development of genetically superior plants and animals
-- benefits all people worldwide.
U OF G CAMPUS AND OTHER SITES
In September of 1996, the University of Guelph and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food,
and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) struck a new partnership that has shifted many responsibilities of
the ministry's education, research, and laboratories division (ERLD) to the University.
This new agreement reflects the agri-food industry's clear demand that the investment in
agricultural research in Ontario remain a priority. The University of Guelph and OMAFRA can now offer
a broad research span from exploratory to rapid application while providing benefits and
efficiencies that wouldn't exist if they continued operating separately.
With this new amalgamated system that includes the University and three agricultural colleges
at Alfred, Kemptville, and Ridgetown, all agri-food education will become standardized,
including entrance policies and the curriculum in the agriculture diploma program. The colleges will
offer clusters of specialized courses that will be available to students at all locations through
distance education. College students will be able to take advantage of increased access to technology
at the University and more immediate access to a degree program.
Thanks to a continuing arrangement with OMAFRA, faculty at the University have access to
state of the art livestock facilities located within a 30 minute drive of campus. These facilities
are located near the villages of Elora (Beef and Dairy Cattle), Ponsonby (Sheep and Dairy Cattle), Arkell (Poultry, Horses, and Pigs), and Alma (Fish).
U OF G EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES
U of G's educational resources include museums, galleries, collections, and exhibits of
cultural and scientific materials. The Macdonald Stewart Art Centre, jointly funded by the University
and the community, draws 30,000 visitors annually, including 3,000 school children. The Centre
is renowned for its Inuit drawings, sculpture park, and the university's own collection, including
works by the Group of Seven artists Tom Thompson and Lawren Harris. Major local, Canadian,
and international shows visit the centre each year.
Located on the north end of campus and founded in 1970, the Arboretum is home to some
2,900 varieties of trees and shrubs. Visitors can walk, cycle, or jog along the Arboretum's roads
or explore the interpretive nature trails and plant collections. The Arboretum grounds are open
from dawn until dusk and we strongly recommend that ADSA delegates take advantage of this
distinctive area of the University of Guelph.
The University of Guelph library is home to more than 2.5 million books and other publications
and the facility is used by 11,000 students and faculty every day during teaching semesters.
Library users have access to more than two dozen CD-ROM data bases and the library
catalogue systems developed at Guelph are licensed for use worldwide.
U OF G STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND SPORTS
The newly renovated Athletic Centre hosts three gymnasiums, two swimming pools, seven
squash courts, new and improved weight training rooms, and a fitness circuit. A new facility contains
a double arena with Olympic-size ice surface and a restaurant overlooking the ice. Outdoor
facilities include four tennis courts, a running track, and lighted football, field hockey, soccer, rugby,
and fastball fields. Jogging trails and multi-purpose facilities are available for a wide range of
other activities. The University of Guelph's Athletic Facilities are used by more than 12,000
community members annually.
