AgriRecovery Payments Flowing

Oct 29, 2021

Most recent numbers from the office of Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler show the government has approved $1.67 million from 118 claims for drought assistance through AgriRecovery.

Carson Callum is general manager of Manitoba Beef Producers.

"It's good to see that payments have been moving and producers have been able to get applications approved and cheques sent out the door. I think that's pretty good for an AgriRecovery initiative, when you consider the provincial and federal negotiations that need to go into it," he commented. "But we still understand that the current details of AgriRecovery still need to be looked at and how they could potentially be adjusted to include a bit of eligibility for some of the extraordinary costs that producers incurred as a result of the drought. Conversations that we're still having with the department to see what adjustments can be made."

The province notes it remains committed to processing applications as quickly as possible and payments continue to be processed on an ongoing basis.

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
