Get the most from a co-packing relationship

Dec 15, 2020

Webinar participants will learn first-hand about co-packing from industry experts

Registration is now open for “Best Practices for Working with a Co-Packer”, which is taking place January 13, 2021 from 9 to 10:30am. In this webinar, participants will hear from a co-packer and an industry panel comprised of speakers who have worked with a co-packer to produce agricultural and food products.

The panel will provide perspectives from both sides of the co-packing relationship. Company speakers will discuss what steps they took to be ready. The co-packer will share what is required from a company. All speakers will share some of the challenges and tips for how to get the most from the relationship and work towards a successful outcome.

Following the industry panel presentation and questions, participants will have an opportunity to participate in a break-out session on co-packing in Alberta. This session will further explore emerging trends and sharing of best practices and tips that enable companies to expand sales through co-packing.

Video: Genetics vs Genomics in Swine - Dr. Max Rothschild

In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Max Rothschild, Distinguished Professor at Iowa State University, explains how genetics and genomics have transformed swine production. He explores genomic selection, key gene discoveries, and the role of gene editing in improving disease resistance and productivity. Practical insights on litter size, meat quality, and industry adoption are also discussed. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Genetic improvement in swine production accelerated significantly once molecular tools enabled identification of DNA level variation influencing growth, reproduction, and meat quality across commercial populations."

Meet the guest: Dr. Max Rothschild / max-f-rothschild-b3800312 earned his PhD in Animal Breeding from Cornell University and has spent over four decades at Iowa State University advancing swine genetics and genomics. His research focuses on genetic improvement, disease resistance, and molecular tools for swine production. A leader in pig genome research, his work has shaped modern breeding strategies.
