Alberta Pork Holding 2nd Annual Chops & Crops Reception

One of our key mandates at Alberta Pork is to advocate for producers with all levels  of government. Strong relationships with government  are critical to ensuring that  our industry's voice is heard and our needs are addressed.

On October 29th, Alberta Pork, along with other commodity groups, is hosting the  2nd Annual Chops & Crops Reception at the Matrix  Hotel in Edmonton. Last year's event was a great success and we're expecting even more MLA's and government staff this time. It's a great opportunity to interact with key decision makers and talk about the issues affecting our industry and how we can work together to resolve them.

Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

Video: Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

In today’s pork industry, producers are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer inputs—while maintaining performance, improving animal health, and meeting sustainability expectations.

we sit down with Sylvain David and Scott Preston from Olmix to explore how seaweed-based solutions are emerging as a foundational tool in modern swine nutrition.

Rather than acting as simple alternatives, these solutions are designed to support gut health, immune resilience, and overall system consistency—especially during key stress periods like weaning, feed transitions, and disease challenges.

The conversation dives into:

• What seaweed-based solutions actually are and how they work

• Why consistency and standardization matter in “natural” products

• How gut health connects to immune function and performance

• Where producers are seeing real-world impact today

• The role of natural solutions in the future of sustainable pork production
