VIRTUAL TOWN HALL

Strategies for Reducing Feed Costs
and Maintaining Swine Nutrition

 

Thursday, September 23rd – 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. – VIA ZOOM

 

Sask Pork is hosting this webinar to respond to producers’ concerns about higher feed prices and supply issues as a result of the ongoing drought in Saskatchewan.  Our expert panel of presenters will offer practical information and strategies for feed formulation options and maintaining good swine nutrition during this challenging time.

Other topics will include feeding DDGs and corn, feed mill maintenance and feed processing considerations, and how to determine optimal market weights for your hogs.

This is your opportunity to share information and ask questions of industry experts in feed and nutrition.  You are able to participate on- line or by telephone.
