“This was an opportunity for pork industry representatives to exchange ideas, discuss mutual challenges, and explore solutions,” said CPC Chair René Roy. “We’re committed to providing the best possible care for our pigs, using science-based approaches to deliver safe and sustainable pork.”

NPPC President Duane Stateler emphasized the value of regional collaboration: “The North American pork industries are strongest when we work together, share challenges and solutions, and learn from one another.”
