Elite grows poultry handling reach across Western Canada

Under the agreement, Elite will take full responsibility for poultry operations previously managed by Unity Catchers. Customers will experience a seamless transition, as existing crews and service commitments will continue without interruption.

Elite plans to introduce additional resources, advanced systems, and specialized expertise to improve the safety and efficiency of poultry handling across Manitoba.

Chris Vanrietschoten of Elite highlighted the company’s dedication, stating that Elite has built its reputation over 20 years by focusing on professionalism, animal welfare, and operational excellence.

Video: Five Confirmed New World Screwworm Cases Raise Alarm for Livestock and Pet Owners

Pat Hoffman, Swine Technical Consultant and Elanco Animal Health tells us about the inpact or New World Screwworm. The emergence of New World screwworm in the U.S. creates a threat for veterinarians, livestock producers and pet owners that has not been seen north of the Florida Keys since the fly was eradicated from the United States more than 50 years ago. New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) larvae feed on living tissue and can affect a wide range of warm-blooded animals, including livestock, companion animals, wildlife, and even humans.
“New World screwworm could have a devastating impact on animal health, welfare, and producer livelihoods,” said Jeff Simmons, President and CEO, Elanco Animal Health. “We want to thank the FDA, EPA and USDA, for all their work to prepare for this threat. We’re committed to supporting our customers during this challenging time by delivering innovation, scientific expertise, and available resources to help treat New World screwworm and support the health and well-being of animals.”
Elanco is working alongside the U.S. animal health industry to help them fight against this parasite, offering a portfolio of options for pets and livestock that can help treat New World screwworm larvae infestations.
