Alberta Pork chair urges greater collaboration throughout pork industry
Posted in: Production by admin on | No Comments
The Alberta pork industry will need to work more cooperatively with each other and
think more creatively if it is to have a fighting chance against the challenges it faces
today and in the future, says the chairman of Alberta Pork, the organization which
represents the province’s pork producers.
In a presentation at Alberta Pork’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), Herman Simons
urged all pork industry participants to buy into the Revitalization Strategy developed by
the industry and its partners this year and, in many cases, think beyond it. “We have to
come to grips with the idea that good environmental and animal welfare practices are
baseline expectations of today’s consumers. The next step is differentiating ourselves in a
market built on those expectations,” he says.
Key to this will be the entire industry’s ability to work together toward a common goal of
prosperity.
Can Valuable Bioactive Compounds be Obtained from Composted Swine Manure?
Posted in: Environment by admin on | No Comments
Composted swine manure was examined for the presence of antibacterial and antifungal activities. While commercial composts show some antibacterial activity composted swine manure demonstrated inhibitory activity against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. Weaker inhibitory activity against Gram-negative bacteria was also detected in composted swine manure. It is likely that these antimicrobial activities are due to compounds produced by bacteria or fungi present in the composted swine manure. An antifungal compound of possible commercial and agricultural significance is present in composted swine manure. Antibacterial agents of the same significance are also present.
