07-May-2009 (17 years 1 months 6 days ago)Canadian hog producers can apply for compensation under an extended Cull Breeding Swine Program as of May 7, 2009. Funded by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and delivered by the Canadian Pork Council, the program has been revised to include breeding swine culled between August 1, 2007 and October 31, 2007. This is in addition to breeding swine covered under the original program which included culls from November 1, 2007 to November 30, 2008.
“The Cull Breeding Swine Program was originally designed to help the industry restructure by facilitating the reduction of Canada’s swine breeding herd (sows, boars and pregnant gilts) by approximately 10 per cent,” says Jurgen Preugschas, President of the Canadian Pork Council.
