The real dirt on farming : The people in canadian agriculture answer your questions

Posted in: Production by admin on | No Comments

All told, Canadian agriculture is big business: $34.2 billion in annual sales from crops and livestock production.
But the reality is that we’re mostly independent operators, each of us running a small business. It’s tough to describe, because no two farms are the same. As farmers, we ride out the same underlying econimic and societal trends as other Canadian enterprises, or ignore them at our peril.
When the only constant is change, we must be nimble, creative and adaptable – whther it’s what we produce, how we produce it, or how id gets to market.
Before we delve into specific questions about food production, let’s look at key trends in the Canadian farm setting. We hope this provides some context for understanding some of the changes you’re seeing in agriculture.

Blood supply management could lead to more uniform litters

Therapeutically increasing the uterine blood vessel
density of pregnant sows could be the key to producing
more uniform litters of pigs, so adding greatly to production
efficiency.
This is one of the findings of a three-year study, which
has shown that a specialized population of the mother’s
white blood cells increases blood-supplying tubes at healthy
conceptus attachment sites, but stops the production of
molecules for building the blood delivery system at attachment
sites where the pig embryos are dying.
