“We would like to welcome Dr. Duizer to his new role and want to congratulate him on this well-deserved appointment”, said Manitoba Pork general manager Cam Dahl. “In his time working in the office of the chief veterinarian, Dr. Duizer has maintained a collaborative approach while building a strong foundation of open and transparent communication.”

Manitoba’s chief veterinary officer plays a key role when it comes to our province’s hog sector, especially in dealing with production diseases like PED and PRRS, as well as the profound threat of foreign animal diseases like ASF and FMD.
