Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data

As part of Alberta Pork’s  commitment to create a trusted and competitive industry through market transparency and collaboration, we are pleased to announce the publication of Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data starting on May 21, 2025. The weekly Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data will be published in the Alberta Pork Weekly Report and posted on the Alberta Pork website.

Publication of the Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data is an important step for industry, reflective of the collaboration between Alberta Pork and federally inspected processors receiving Alberta hogs across Western Canada. Reaching this point of publication has taken the dedicated efforts of many but most notably Minister Nate Horner who, during his time as the agriculture minister, worked with industry to garner the support for and shepherd the regulatory amendments, as well as Minister RJ Sigurdson and his staff for helping with the requirements allowing for the collection of the Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data.

As a regulated requirement to publish the Alberta Market Hog Settlement Data, Alberta Pork must protect processor and producer confidentiality. To do so Alberta Pork aligns the data based on settlement periods to aggregate the data.

Video: Season 7, Episode 2: From Data to Decisions in Swine Production

Data can provide a clear picture of trends and performance across a swine farm, but its greatest value comes from putting those insights into action. In this episode, Dr. Edison Magalhães, assistant professor in the department of animal science at Iowa State University, discusses how producers can leverage data to make informed decisions that improve herd performance from birth to market. He highlights the challenges of siloed data across different teams, the impact those gaps can have on performance and the importance of integrating data to gain a more complete picture of herd health and productivity. He also explains the PROSPER (Predictors of Swine Performance) tool, which combines data from multiple sources to help producers better understand herd performance.
