Responsible Grain Code of Practice consultation deadline extended

Jan 12, 2021

Your opinion is needed on the Responsible Grain Code of Practice. Three more consultation sessions have been added: January 27, 28, and 29, all at 12:00 pm.

The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Crops has developed the Responsible Grain Code of Practice, a voluntary, science-based code that demonstrates Canadian grain farmers’ care and commitment to the environment.

Note that some farmers who have registered for Jan 21 will be asked to switch to one of the new dates due to high numbers.

Now that the Code of Practice is developed in draft form, your feedback is needed to ensure the Code is both understandable and adoptable. To receive your invitation to participate in the consultations, please click Register Now and complete the form.

Marcel Huijsmans, Global Marketing Director at Topigs Norsvin tells us about their new genetic solution R3silience that offers a solid alternative to how the industry can approach disease management.

R3silience delivers scientifically proven, naturally resilient pigs that thrive under disease pressure, enabling more predictable, sustainable production by reducing losses and sustaining growth under disease challenge.

R3silience pigs deliver higher survival, stronger overall performance, and healthier herds - reducing wean-to-finish mortality by up to 6 percentage points during multifactorial PRRS outbreak*.

R3silience pigs not only show higher survival, but also deliver superior growth, improving daily weight gain by up to 0.04lbs. per day under multifactorial PRRS outbreak.*

Pigs with enhanced resilience to both viral and bacterial diseases require fewer health interventions and up to 8% less antibiotic treatments from wean-to-finish*, supporting better animal welfare.
