Alberta Agriculture and Forestry’s Food Safety Branch has begun a survey of  E. coli O157:H7 in pork at provincially licensed abattoirs in Alberta.
 
The purpose of the project is to determine the frequency of E. coli O157:H7 in both swine feces and swine carcasses at provincial abattoirs in Alberta.
 
The information collected will be used to help industry adopt food safety measures and will help to focus future food safety surveillance.

Caught In A Time-Loop: Bottle Feeding Lambs!

Video: Caught In A Time-Loop: Bottle Feeding Lambs!

In today's vlog at Ewetopia Farms, we find ourselves stuck in a time loop where each day is a repetition of the last as we care for our bottle-fed lambs. The Coverall is bustling with young Suffolk lambs eagerly drinking from their bottle holders, showcasing the sheer number of lambs we are nurturing. Despite the time-consuming process of preparing formula, feeding, and cleaning, the lambs gulp it down in seconds. With three feedings daily, the workload is overwhelming, but soon, we will transition to twice a day feedings for more manageable routines. Amidst the chaos, we managed to give the older Suffolk lambs some playtime in the yard, allowing us a moment to relax and appreciate these adorable creatures.
