An initiative under which the Canadian Pork Council, in collaboration with the provincial pork organizations, producers and other pork sector experts from across Canada developed training resources for swine farm stockpersons will be among the topics discussed as part of Saskatchewan Pork Industry Symposium 2022 November 15 and 16 in Saskatoon.
Mark Fynn, the training resources coordinator with the Canadian Pork Council, says over 100 videos and printed resources covering 10 topics including biosecurity, humane transport and husbandry practices have been developed to help train new workers.
“The project is really about national collaboration getting expert review from across Canada with the best experts possible”
