Ideas to Fine Tune Your Operation

Pigs_water 

During these unprecedented times producers are challenged with maintaining operational efficiency and assessing external factors that directly impact their operations.  By taking a inward approach we may be able to find little things that can positively impact the bottom line.  As we start to find our way forward these cost saving strategies will help us reinvest in our operations and industry sooner.  The following resources provide a good starting point on ways to look at your operation to drive cost out of the production system.  Originally produced as survival strategies in 2008, we have updated this publication as many of the topics remain relevant today.  If you have any questions or comments we are always available to hear from you.

A Message to All Our Stakeholders Regarding COVID 19

pscaerial2 

With the continuing global and provincial spread of COVID 19 it is important that we all do what we can to help reduce the spread of this virus. Prairie Swine Centre takes our obligations and commitments to our employees, our animals, producers, funding agencies and the Canadian pork industry very seriously, and have implemented several precautionary measures within our business structure.

As a leader within the Canadian pork industry, over time, we have developed a system of policies and procedures that help us best manage events seen today. We continue to build on these habits to ensure everyone remains safe and healthy throughout this critical period. Biosecurity programs developed throughout the pork industry are serving all of us well. Not only do they protect our animals, they better enable us to prepare for challenges identified in the coming days and months.
