Dr. Deborah Adewole was hired in August 2018 as the Industry Research Chair, Sustainable Antibiotic Reduction in Poultry Production. This 5-year appointment was the result of a collaborative effort co-funded by Chicken Farmers of Canada (via the Atlantic Poultry Research Institute), the Province of Nova Scotia, Dalhousie University, and with additional commitment from Chicken Farmers of NS to support her research. Dr. Adewole’s work focused mostly on developing nutritional strategies to improve the health and growth performance of poultry. Her research efforts identified ingredients, such as red osier dogwood and various essential oils, that can be beneficial to chicken. Dr. Adewole’s contributions as an Industry Research Chair were significant, receiving approximately $1.8 M in research dollars, publishing over 30 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and training 15 students including undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and research associates.
Last fall, Dr. Adewole accepted a faculty position at the University of Saskatchewan, where she continues to work to support our chicken sector. For a full list of her funding partners, presentations and publications, industry factsheets, and more, click here.
