Summary:

A survey was conducted on knowledge transfer in the pork industry, with respondents from Mike Wilson Research Day, Centralia Swine Research Update, and South West Ontario Swine Conference. The occupation distribution varied between the events with the SW Swine Conference being mainly farmers and farm workers, Centralia Swine Research Update having the highest percent of students and agri-business, and Mike Wilson Research Day having similar percents of farm workers, researchers and students. The preference for knowledge source differed between groups. Farmers and farm workers preferred information to come from veterinarians and agri-business, and in the form of industry magazines and newspapers. Agri-business representatives favoured researchers, government, and in-house training sources, and in the form of online sources, scientific publications, and industry magazines and newspapers.
