KAP Makes Canada Grain Act Review Submission

May 04, 2021

Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) has made a submission to the Canada Grain Act review.

"I think the overall messaging is that through committee meetings and consultations and producer engagement, I would say the vast majority of producers want to see the grain commission maintain its role and be able to be oversight for the grain industry. I think the primary concern is to protect producers' rights and interests," commented KAP President Bill Campbell. "We deal with a few things with regards to the grading and the dockage, some of those aspects. There's the mandate of enforcement of the powers that the grain commission has. Also producer protection payments with regards to licensing of facilities."

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.
