Ontario's agri-food sector is getting $8.3 million in additional support to improve biosecurity on poultry farms.
Chatham-Kent-Essex MP Dave Van Kesteren made the announcement Thursday in Guelph.
He said educational and training programs are also planned to help boost food safety and traceability.
"Farmers across Ontario can take pride in their animal handling practices,'' he said.
He said the provincial and federal governments are working together so that farmers have access to the latest and best farm animal care techniques.
"This investment will help farmers build new trade opportunities and boost their bottom line and Canada's economy,'' he said.
