The FCC (Farm Credit Canada) has released a report on its most recent examination of the risk mitigation strategies affecting Canadian agriculture.

Looking at the categories of production, market, financial, human resources, and legal, the FCC report is based upon a survey about risk perceptions and producers’ implementation of relevant risk management strategies.

First undertaken in 2020, the FCC acknowledges that recent factors surrounding inflation and rising interest rates, the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, and more warrant a 2022 update.

It found that:

Production risk management continued to improve;
Human resources risk remained the lowest risk category;
Risk management strategies differed by sector.

Marcel Huijsmans, Global Marketing Director at Topigs Norsvin tells us about their new genetic solution R3silience that offers a solid alternative to how the industry can approach disease management.

R3silience delivers scientifically proven, naturally resilient pigs that thrive under disease pressure, enabling more predictable, sustainable production by reducing losses and sustaining growth under disease challenge.

R3silience pigs deliver higher survival, stronger overall performance, and healthier herds - reducing wean-to-finish mortality by up to 6 percentage points during multifactorial PRRS outbreak*.

R3silience pigs not only show higher survival, but also deliver superior growth, improving daily weight gain by up to 0.04lbs. per day under multifactorial PRRS outbreak.*

Pigs with enhanced resilience to both viral and bacterial diseases require fewer health interventions and up to 8% less antibiotic treatments from wean-to-finish*, supporting better animal welfare.
