To our farmer-members: 2020 Reflections, 2021 Opportunities and Future Plans

BURLINGTON, ON – On March 25, 2021, Chicken Farmers of Ontario (CFO) hosted our Virtual Annual General Meeting (AGM) – the virtual platform being one of the ways we continue to work differently during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
With over 300 of our farmer-members, allied industry and government partners participating in the virtual meeting, the AGM was an excellent way to learn about and discuss opportunities, issues, and future plans for the Ontario chicken industry.
 
The meeting themes, Responsible, Resilient, Recover, and Deliver and Transform, demonstrate how CFO is working with farmers and industry to continue to understand and manage COVID-19’s challenges and impacts and how the resiliency of our supply management business model continues to prove effective and successful.

Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

Video: Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

In today’s pork industry, producers are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer inputs—while maintaining performance, improving animal health, and meeting sustainability expectations.

we sit down with Sylvain David and Scott Preston from Olmix to explore how seaweed-based solutions are emerging as a foundational tool in modern swine nutrition.

Rather than acting as simple alternatives, these solutions are designed to support gut health, immune resilience, and overall system consistency—especially during key stress periods like weaning, feed transitions, and disease challenges.

The conversation dives into:

• What seaweed-based solutions actually are and how they work

• Why consistency and standardization matter in “natural” products

• How gut health connects to immune function and performance

• Where producers are seeing real-world impact today

• The role of natural solutions in the future of sustainable pork production
