Alberta Pork Launching Producer Survey to Serve You Better

As part of our efforts to support producers, Alberta Pork staff will be conducting a short phone survey beginning next week. Since our last producer survey in 2011, a lot has changed in the industry, and as your representative, it’s critical that we have up-to-date information to ensure that the programs we’re working on for you will meet your needs.
 
As well, we must have current facts and figures on pork production in Alberta to effectively advocate for you with government and tell your story to media and consumers.
 
Any information you provide us is strictly confidential. When talking with government or consumers, we will only be using total numbers (eg. “x” total number of sows in Alberta, “x” total number of market pigs in Alberta). Your individual details will not be shared with anyone under any circumstances.
 
We know you’re very busy, so we will do our best to gather your information quickly and efficiently.
 
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. By completing the survey, you will play a key role in helping us to serve you better and stay relevant to your needs.

Special Considerations for Grazing Dairy Cows

Video: Special Considerations for Grazing Dairy Cows

Many Canadian grazing recommendations were developed using beef cattle in the prairies. While we have adapted these the forage species and climate in Ontario, other livestock have different needs. Maintaining milk components can be difficult on a predominantly pasture diet for lactating cows.

The purpose of the Profitable Pasture conference is to bring fresh ideas and new research results to Ontario grazing managers across the ruminant livestock sectors. These conferences have a major focus on pasture management.
