CRSB updates the Certified Sustainable Beef Framework

The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef has released a comprehensive update to its Certified Sustainable Beef Framework.

A committee representing the whole beef supply chain reviewed all aspects of the Framework with input from stakeholders, subject matter experts, and public consultation.

The Assurance Protocols that guide how certification is carried out have been updated, as have the Chain of Custody Requirements, on how cattle and beef are tracked through the supply chain.

Details on how CRSB Claims for beef sourced from CRSB Certified Operations were also updated, as well as the suite of claims related to certified operations and sourcing of CRSB Certified beef.

More information is available from the CRSB.

Video: Season 7, Episode 4: Using Data to Better Manage PRRSV

PRRS continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing pork producers, but each outbreak can also provide valuable information about herd recovery, losses and the management decisions that follow.In this episode, Dr. Ana Paula Serafini Poeta Silva, a research scientist at Iowa State University, discusses the PRRS Outbreak Management Program, or POMP, and what researchers have learned from a database containing information from more than 700 breeding-herd outbreaks. She explains how POMP uses data from individual outbreaks to establish benchmarks producers can use to better understand what to expect during recovery, including potential losses and the time it may take for a herd to return to baseline production. The conversation also explores how PRRS management has evolved, including the role of live virus inoculation and modified-live vaccines.
