FAQ
A: Yes, this is still a possibility. All project files are analyzed; then we provide a decision based on the network’s current needs.
A: This disease occurs in unweaned piglets and leads to a high rate of mortality. It can also occur in nurseries and fattening, with a lower mortality rate. This is why strict sanitary measures must be taken at all times by producers and stakeholders at the farm to minimize the risks of disease spread. Nutrition can also be a means for transmitting the disease. To minimize the risks of disease spread, we recommend among other things to ensure that all trucks that leave the slaughterhouses be washed and disinfected before returning to a farm. The producer must not let a carrier enter the building to load hogs and must not go into the loading truck.

For our part, we have updated all our biosecurity protocols and improved a number of operating procedures such as culling sows management. Our carriers have received biosecurity training from the Centre de développement du porc du Québec (CDPQ). We work closely with all our providers to establish processes to avoid all risks of cross-contamination.
A: We usually do. Each year, we hold "Producers’ Days" during which we present our research projects and test results. We also organize visits of our facilities.

In addition, Agri-News presents various articles in relation with our projects and fields of study.
A: Nutrients from the ingredients used to prepare the feed are updated each month based on laboratory test results. In order to comply with the specifications of the different dietary phases and to guarantee an optimal price to producers, formulations are regularly updated. Consequently, the colour of feed might change, depending on variations in the rates of the ingredients used. This does not in any way affect the consistent quality of our products.
A: Yes, this is still a possibility. All submitted projects are analyzed, followed by a decision based on the network’s current needs.
