PROGRAM
Feed Processing for Improved Production, Denise Beaulieu, University of Saskatchewan
- Feed processing can have significant impact on performance of your herd. What are the management strategies producers should examine within their milling to maximize mill and herd performance?
Exercising sows – What producers need to know?, Yolande Seddon, University of Saskatchewan
- Changes to the Code require producers in the future to provide periodic greater freedom of
movement to sows. Are sows motivated for a greater freedom of movement, and how can this be adopted on farm?
The Evolution of Genetic Potential, Daniel Godbout, PIC Canada Ltd.
- A walk through time to look where we were 50 years ago, what has been accomplished, how it has been accomplished and what the future holds. Pigs have changed dramatically and nutrition and management approaches have too. We need to bring it all together to achieve the greatest success.
Pig Tales – Ongoing Benefits of Colostrum, Leanne Van De Weyer, Zoetis
- Colostrum is critical for pig health and performance beyond the pre-weaning phase. What can producers do to ensure all piglets get their “fair share”?.
The NSERC IRC in Swine Welfare – Benefits for the pork value chain, Yolande Seddon, University of Saskatchewan
