November 3, 2020

Swine Innovation Porc is designed to facilitate research, commercialization initiatives and technology transfer. The goal is to ensure measurable results and adoption of results in the Canadian pork industry. The Banff Pork Seminar provided results that may cut feeding costs by $8/pig marketed. There are numerous studies currently underway that are funded through Swine Innovation Porc. More information can be found at www.swineinnovation.com
