Canadian Swine Training Development Project
As part of the ongoing Canadian Pork Council’s Swine Training Development Project’ to develop producer resources, a series of producer training videos (transport, euthanasia and biosecurity) are now available. To access these resources, go to this link:
Group Housing
Researchers have developed the National Sow Housing Conversion Project website to provide hog producers with the latest information on transitioning from conventional stall housing to group housing of gestating sows in response to Canada's new Pig Code of Practice, which requires all new sow gestation barns to use group housing. A multi-institutional team of scientists and engineers, working in partnership with Swine Innovation Porc, launched the site to provide information for producers considering building new or converting existing sow barns to group housing.
Smart Pig Handling
The Smart Pig Handling Video series produced by Manitoba Pork, provides training to new herdspersons on how to safely and effectively handle pigs while minimizing stress on themselves and their animals.
An extended version of the training is available and can be customized to farm type. To order a copy of the video series in Saskatchewan, please contact Sask Pork at (306) 343-3502 or info@saskpork.com.
