Livestock Integration in Grain and Oilseed Cropping Systems for Soil Health

Ph.D. opportunity in Plant Sciences or Soil Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan

Project summary: There is considerable interest in improving soil health and using agricultural soils for carbon sequestration. Soil organic matter (SOM) is an integral part of the concept of soil health and has many benefits, including soil moisture retention, improved nutrient cycling and crop productivity. Building SOM can therefore help Prairie crop producers improve yields, particularly in dry years and improve overall resiliency of the cropping system. However, increasing SOM in dryland agriculture is challenging, and there are concerns that environmental practices recommended in more humid environment may come at the cost of reduced yields in semi-arid growing areas. In addition, a recent meta-analysis has suggested that perennials and/or livestock integration might be necessary to increase SOM in cropping systems (King and Blesh, 2018). However, we would like to question whether perennials and livestock are absolutely necessary: Do producers really have to put land into pastures with livestock for years in order to build soil health? Could similar benefits be achieved without livestock grazing? Or, on the contrary, are most of the benefits coming from the livestock grazing, so that perhaps similar benefits might be achieved with annual forages included once or twice in a 4-year crop rotation, or even from grazing crop residues in a diversified grain-oilseed-pulse crop rotation?

We are searching for an enthusiastic and hands-on PhD graduate student to contribute to this project. The successful candidate will be supervised by the WGRF Research Chair in Integrated Agronomy, Dr. Maryse Bourgault. A guaranteed stipend of $25,000 – $28,000 for four years will be provided, and students are encouraged to apply for the many scholarships available.

• Collect soil samples and plant samples according to scientific protocols
• Write rationale, methods, results and interpretation for scientific (i.e. your thesis) and non-scientific audiences
• Help with the general maintenance of research equipment, field and laboratory
• Help supervise undergraduate student helpers
• Assist the Chair with collaborations and extension activities
• Support other field research projects as required
• Attend and complete the required coursework for the PhD program, as discussed with committee members and supervisor.

PhD Student Position Now Available to Study Occupational Health in Agricultural Machinery Operators

Join an interdisciplinary team of researchers led by Dr Stephan Milosavljevic (Faculty, Primary Supervisor) and Dr Dena Burnett (Post-Doc, Co-supervisor) with the School of Rehabilitation Science at the University of Saskatchewan. In conjunction with the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture, this highly practical team offers personalized mentorship and the opportunity to work both in-field and in-lab with agricultural producers in the field of occupational health. We currently have an opening for one PhD student to study the effect of noise and whole-body vibration exposure on the health of agricultural machinery operators through smart device app validation, in-field data collection, participant interviews and focus groups, statistical modeling, and knowledge translation.

Farm machinery operation is one of the most dangerous occupations in Canada. During daily tasks, machinery operators are exposed to high levels of occupational whole-body vibration and noise often exceeding safe occupational exposure limits, and contributing to the risk of equipment-related injuries, collisions, accidents and possibly death. Negative health effects related to vibration and noise exposure include low back and musculoskeletal pain, cognitive impairment, loss of concentration and reaction time, and disturbances to balance and body awareness. These health deficiencies, and associated injuries and accidents, may be preventable if operators have accessible tools to measure and monitor exposure levels, as well as practical evidence-based in-field strategies to aid in reducing these exposures. The overall aim of our work is to develop practical, evidence-based, feasible, and producer-demonstrated strategies to reduce the negative health effects of on-farm vibration and noise exposure related to agricultural machinery use.

The applicant should have a Master’s Degree in Physiotherapy, Health Sciences, Community Health and Epidemiology, Public Health, Agriculture, Biological or Biomedical Engineering, Kinesiology, or a related field. Familiarity in research in one or more of the following areas will be considered as assets: occupational health, ergonomics, health exposure risk assessment, rehabilitation science, industrial health and safety, and mixed-methods analysis. Knowledge of data analysis and interpretation using statistical software is required. This project will involve on-farm and in-field data collection; although not required, a farming or agricultural background will be considered a strong asset. The successful applicant will also require a Class 5 Saskatchewan Driver’s License (or equivalent), either currently obtained or in the process of obtaining upon position start.

The applicant should be independent, self-motivated, and will be expected to be able to perform tasks with minimal to modest supervision after receiving appropriate training. Applicants must be detail oriented, possess strong organizational and interpersonal skills, and be understanding of the flexibility and pragmatism required to implement methodological modifications during in-field data collection where necessary. Successful applicants will be expected to apply for external funding opportunities. Anticipated start would be either September 2023 or January 2024.

Applicants should send the following documents to Dr Stephan Milosavljevic, stephan.milosavljevic@usask.ca:

• Current CV with list of publications and research experience,
• Transcripts (unofficial accepted),
• Contact information for 2 references, one of whom should be a previous research supervisor,
• Short statement of how your interests and career goals may be a match for this position.

Applicants are required to apply and be admitted to the Health Sciences graduate program at the University of Saskatchewan to fill the position. Candidates whose first language is not English may be required to provide a certificate of English proficiency. Admission requirements can be found on the CGPS website (https://cgps.usask.ca/).

The three research projects are as follows:

[1] Evaluation of the effects of germination on the physicochemical, functional and nutritional properties of Navy bean and red lentil flours.  This M.Sc. project examines changes to seed composition and morphology during germination overtime, and then accesses the functional attributes of their resulting flours (solubility, water/oil holding capacities and, foaming, emulsifying and pasting abilities). The project will also access changes to in vitro starch and protein digestibility.

[2] Examination of the impact of particle size on the wet extraction process for protein isolates from yellow pea, red lentil, Navy bean and Kabuli chickpeas, and their resulting physicochemical, functional and nutritional properties. This M.Sc. project examines the impact of particle sizes on the ability to extract proteins from a range of pulses for purposes of developing an isolate. The formed ingredients will be evaluated based on their composition, protein profile, interfacial properties functionality and nutritional value.

[3] Evaluation of the protein quality and functionality of flour and protein isolates from a variety of advanced pea breeding lines. This Ph.D. project examines the nutritional value, interfacial properties and functional attributes of flour and isolate ingredients derived from advanced pea lines bred for their amino acid profile and total protein content. Protein quality, will involve measuring amino acid profiles using multiple methods, and in vitro digestibility for determination of PDCAAS values).
