Research Track 4 currently has 25 projects outlined in our roadmap. Some examples include:
CBTP81 - Baseline Health Parameter Establishment
Establish baseline physiological, hematological, and behavioral health parameters for Canadian Bronze turkeys across life stages to distinguish normal variation from pathology.
CBTP84 - Vaccination Protocol Evaluation
Assess efficacy and necessity of standard poultry vaccination programs when applied to small, pasture-based heritage flocks.
CBTP103 - Biosecurity in Small Flocks
Develop biosecurity protocols tailored to small, conservation-focused turkey operations.
CBTP105 - Longevity and Healthspan
Measure lifespan and years of productive health to assess overall welfare outcomes.
Deliverables:
Risk profiles, prevention protocols, welfare indicators, and practical surveillance plans suited to small distributed breeder networks. How it’s used: reduces catastrophic health events and strengthens long-term resilience.
