Responsible Grain Code of Practice consultation deadline extended

Jan 12, 2021

Your opinion is needed on the Responsible Grain Code of Practice. Three more consultation sessions have been added: January 27, 28, and 29, all at 12:00 pm.

The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Crops has developed the Responsible Grain Code of Practice, a voluntary, science-based code that demonstrates Canadian grain farmers’ care and commitment to the environment.

Note that some farmers who have registered for Jan 21 will be asked to switch to one of the new dates due to high numbers.

Now that the Code of Practice is developed in draft form, your feedback is needed to ensure the Code is both understandable and adoptable. To receive your invitation to participate in the consultations, please click Register Now and complete the form.

Video: New Solution Powers Efficient Pork Growth

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.
