AHL H E R E IMPACT OF PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS S Inn n Ana Ha hen we are dealing with Avian Inuenza, Salmonellosis, and other potenally serious animal diseases, the stakes are high. Protecng the health of Ontario’s animals and, by extension, people, is one of the most important jobs we do, and the University of Guelph’s Pathobiology – Animal Health Laboratory is one of the best places to do it. For the past ve years, the lab has used a 7.5 million investment from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Ministry of Rural Aairs named the Animal Health Strategic Investment – to develop new tests and improve current tests, monitor disease prevalence, and develop and update emergency plans and procedures. The results are impressive. Animal disease surveillance protocols have been enhanced. There is more and stronger data on which to base decision-making, policy and programs. And, because of ghtened protocols and simulaons, Ontario’s livestock industries are far beer prepared to handle a future outbreak of disease. Even more impressive are the strengthened es that have resulted from the collaboraon that took place over the course of the research projects – among producers, veterinarians, the laboratory, the university and the government. The relaonships that have been built over the past ve years will serve all of us, and the Ontario public, well into the future. Congratulaons to everyone involved in this program – you have much to celebrate. Deborah Stark Deputy Minister of Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Ministry of Rural Aairs Pn Ana and Han Ha - Tda and n F Keeping our food safe and ensuring that our animals are healthy is essenal to the connued success of Ontario’s agri-food industry. The University of Guelph’s partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Ministry of Rural Aairs is key to this endeavour, especially through its support of the Animal Health Laboratory (AHL). The AHL houses a crical mass of experse that monitors animal health across the province. AHL’s accurate and rapid detecon and diagnosc facilies help protect the health of Ontarians while promong animal welfare and maintaining producon performance. The OMAF and MRA - U of G Partnership has helped make this possible. For example, in 2008 the partnership provided addional funding for 5 years through the Animal Health Strategic Investment program. This crical support resulted in important innovaons, including new tests for emerging diseases; established a baseline for the early detecon of new hazards; and developed and tested emergency conngency plans for managing disease outbreaks. Ontario’s capacity to ensure public and animal health and wellbeing has been greatly increased through the addion of such sophiscated tesng and high technology analycal equipment, along with the highly qualied personnel who perform this work. As well, the Animal Health Strategic Investment program has supported valuable research and development projects. The AHL, University of Guelph and OMAF and MRA partnership is having a posive impact on Ontario’s agri-food system. This unique collaboraon has enabled advancements in animal health tesng and surveillance that would not have been possible without a joint eort. The resulng research and innovaon is contribung to evidence-based policy in Ontario, which ulmately contributes to improved public health. I am pleased to share with you the AHSI Magazine, which highlights the important work of the Animal Health Strategic Investment Program.

Achievements and results The OMAF and MRA - AHL Animal Health Strategic Investment has supported over 50 projects since 2008 and has developed or improved numerous tests for emerging pathogens, enhanced health surveillance activities, and improved emergency preparedness.
