Both the federal and provincial governments are investing in the future of Saskatchewan’s livestock industry.

Through the Saskatchewan agriculture development fund, 27 livestock and forage related research projects were given funding during an annoucement in Saskatoon today.

The $7 million dollar commitment also includes new operating grants for the Prairie Swine Centre and the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization.
