The famed animal science professor in Saskatoon to speak at the Saskatchewan Pork Industry Symposium 2024 suggests, when it comes to health and welfare, aggression and animal handling, genetics is a key factor to consider.

“Pig Handling and Welfare” will highlight day one starting today and Wednesday.

 
 “I’m getting more and more concerned about both pigs and cattle that have things like foot and leg confirmation issues which makes them lame and that’s going to make them difficult to handle”
