Alberta Pork’s next annual general meeting (AGM) takes place on Thursday, November 23, 2023. This one-day event will take place at the Sheraton Cavalier Calgary Hotel, located at 2620 - 32 Ave. NE in Calgary, Alberta.

We have arranged the meeting agenda to help inform and inspire producers and our industry partners!

The AGM will include the business meeting in the morning, followed by a lineup of exciting presentations in the afternoon from the Canadian Pork Council (CPC), trusted market analyst Brett Stuart and renowned food policy expert Sylvain Charlebois (with whom you may be familiar from his appearances in national news media, as he frequently comments on issues affecting agri-food).

We hope to see you there!

Video: Methionine Requirements for Lactating Sows - Cierra Kozole

In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Cierra Kozole, PhD candidate in Swine Nutrition at the University of Guelph, explains how methionine supports lactating sows beyond milk protein synthesis. She discusses updated requirement estimates, source comparisons, methylation demand, and why modern sow genetics may require more precise amino acid strategies. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Methionine supports protein synthesis while also serving critical functions through methylation pathways that influence multiple biological processes."

Meet the guest: Cierra Kozole / cierra-kozole-772b64253 is a PhD candidate in Swine Nutrition at the University of Guelph in Canada. Her doctoral research focuses on refining estimates of methionine requirements for primiparous lactating sows, including evaluating methionine sources, nutrient partitioning, methylation reactions, and the links among amino acid supply, milk production, and sow protein retention.
