MB Beef Producers Meeting In Brandon

Manitoba's beef industry will be meeting in Brandon Thursday and Friday for the 38th Manitoba Beef Producers Annual General Meeting.

 

The theme for this year's event, which is being held at the Victoria Inn and Convention Centre, is "Sharing Our Story".

 

"Our industry has a great story to tell and there are many reasons for our producers to be proud of the work they do," President Heinz Reimer said. "However, we also recognize our members are humble, hard working individuals who aren't seeking attention. Our goal throughout the AGM is to talk about the important role they can play in telling the industry's story and give them some tools to be part of this ongoing discussion."

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
