BURLINGTON, ON – National allocations for A-153 (Oct 28, 2018 - Dec 22, 2018) and A-154 (Dec 23, 2018 - Feb 16, 2019) were set at 4.5% and 3.5% above the adjusted bases at the Chicken Farmers of Canada (CFC) meeting on July 24, 2018 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Canadian chicken consumption continues to experience healthy, moderating growth, and the market appears stable and robust.

Video: How to Maximize Swine Profitability with U.S. Soy

Are you looking for ways to maximize profitability in swine production? Leading animal nutritionists talk about the "soy effect," asserting the value of using soybean meal (SBM) made from U.S. Soy when formulating feed rations. In this video, Dr. David Rosero, assistant professor at Iowa State University, explains the soy effect and four key reasons for including soybean meal in swine diets for optimal performance and profitability.

Four Pillars of Soybean Meal in Swine Nutrition:
1. Energy Contribution of Soybean Meal in Commercial Diets
2. Soybean Meal as a Functional Bioactive for Animal Health
3. Soybean Meal as a High-Value Protein Source During Late Finisher Diets
4. Soybean Meal-Based Diets to Mitigate Summer Weight Dip
The proven consistency and quality exhibited by U.S. Soy makes for a superior nutritional bundle in animal nutrition, offering a reliable source of protein and energy for high-performing swine.
