Event Description

2011 Upcoming Agriwebinars – Canadian Farm Business Management Council

28/11/2011 Traceability - What You Need to Know & What's Happening

Businesses along the entire food chain strive hard to brand themselves as providing safe, healthy food. At the same time, public health, food safety, animal welfare, and sustainability are combining to drive the demand for food traceability as a critical tool. Transparency about the origins of food and having systems that can prove a food's origins are becoming key policy imperatives and are already mandatory in many countries.
Brian Sterling Chief Executive Officer, OnTrace Agri-food Traceability

Today a website isn’t just important, it’s mandatory for a successful farm marketer.

Find out from farm marketing expert Jane Eckert, who has literally studied hundred’s of farm websites.

12/12/2011 Looking Forward through a Rearview Mirror: Planning for the future
It is my thesis that if we separate the “business of farming” from real-estate ownership, a logical stepping stone is created. It is interesting that as soon as a child is born the most important lesson taught is that land ownership is sacred. Then 30 years later parents are puzzled why not only the farm child but all their children want to own land...and even worse theirs!
Merle Good, Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development

Shic Global Disease Monitoring Report Renewed By Board

Since December 2017, more than 80 Global Swine Disease Monitoring Reports have been developed by a team at the University of Minnesota, now led by Dr. Maria Sol Perez Aguirreburualde. Funded by the Swine Health Information Center as part of its mission to identify emerging disease threats, the monthly reports are published in the SHIC newsletter and serve as a frequently accessed resource for the swine industry on the SHIC website. Reports are built with near real-time global surveillance of swine diseases for their content and rely on a network of global collaborators to expand and verify regional information. With renewal, the GSDMR will continue and expand in 2024 with a new online dashboard to display the global distribution of priority swine diseases in near real-time. The GSDMR uses a continually updated procedure of screening to identify and score swine disease related events that may represent a risk for the US swine industry and reports those results on a monthly basis. Both

4 Tips to Improve Sow Longevity Through Employee Training

Sow mortality continues to be a growing problem for U.S. swine producers. With already thin margins on sow farms, the ability to raise a gilt into a healthy third-parity sow is necessary to recoup the costs of her development. “Over the last handful of years, sow mortality has been excessive, but in 2023, it was particularly bad,” says Adam Gutierrez, senior account manager with Pharmgate Animal Health.  The latest MetaFarms reports show sow death loss in 2023 was at an all-time high at 15.3%. That’s up 1% from a year ago – a trend that continues to move in the wrong direction.  The trickiest part of sow mortality is that many factors contribute to it. Thankfully, through employee training, it’s easier to identify early illness and lameness. “Animal husbandry needs to be the No. 1 focus,” Brad Edkberg, business analyst at MetaFarms said in Sow Death Loss Reaches All-Time High in 2023: What Can Producers Do Now? “I think that's probably one of the lowest hanging fruits to improve so
