Student Volunteers Needed!
Are you a student at the University of Guelph and interested in receiving animal behaviour sampling experience? We are always looking for dedicated volunteers to help us with methane testing!

After contacting you, we will arrange virtual training and live training to get you comfortable in behavioural sampling and operating a GreenFeed machine.
The Resilient Dairy Genome Project runs until the end of May 2025, however methane testing will CONTINUE as part of the Net-Zero Dairy Genome Project.
**We are currently accepting volunteers for the Summer 2025 semester**
**Students that commit to a full semester will receive a statement of work.**
**Please note that a full G license is a requirement to be able to drive the department cars.**
