More Setbacks for Canola

Canola futures continued to lose ground on Monday, adding to the sharp losses incurred late last week.  

A major sell-off in the stock and equities markets fueled much of the decline, while additional pressure came from downturns in the Chicago soy complex and European rapeseed. There were slight gains in Malaysian palm, as well as global crude oil prices.   

Rain for the next few days is expected to slow any remaining spring planting on the Prairies, especially in the wetter eastern regions. 

July canola fell $16.90 to $1,087.20, November dropped $15.60 to $1,028.60 and January lost $16.40 to $1,034.10.

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.
