Canadian PSC opens Sow Research Unit
Prairie Swine Centre has officially opened its new Sow
Research Unit, a joint initiative of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the
Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture.
Efficiency“Reducing costs and
improving efficiency is the most important aspect of pork production today, and
applies as much to the research community as it does to commercial pork
producers,†notes Dr. John Patience, President of Prairie Swine Centre. “This
new sow barn embraces that important concept in design, equipment selection and
operational procedures.â€
Looking ahead, the barn incorporates the
industry trend of accommodating practices such as increasing the age at
weaning.
