Agriculture writers meet in Regina to talk green

Oct 03, 2022

Over 80 agriculture journalists from across the country descended on Regina over the weekend for the annual Canadian Farm Writers’ Federation conference.

For some conference goers this was their first time in Saskatchewan, but many issues discussed under the theme of “Green is the Colour, Farming is the Game” share similarities across the country, including sustainability of the agriculture industry.

Agriculture Minister David Marit was there to welcome the group to Regina and Saskatchewan at the opening reception.

There are great stories to tell of agriculture in Canada, he said, and journalists are the ones to tell it to the world.

Video: New Solution Powers Efficient Pork Growth

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
