The CEO of Farm Heath Guardian is encouraging pork producers to think about monitoring their farm’s efficiency within the space of biosecurity as a method to enhance that side of their operation. “Biosecurity: What’s New in Defending Your Farm?” shall be among the many subjects mentioned as a part of Saskatchewan Pork Business Symposium 2022 set for November 15 and 16 in Saskatoon.

Clip-Rob Hannam-Farm Heath Guardian:
If I’m talking with a producer and we’re speaking about biosecurity the very first thing that will come to thoughts can be cleansing and disinfection and that’s proper. These are the issues we ought to be contemplating however we handle what we measure and if we begin to handle biosecurity then we’ll begin to do a greater job at that. I’ll make a comparability. I feel producers right this moment do a unbelievable job of managing feed consumption, of figuring out what the return is. Feed is a giant price and the manufacturing metrics; we all know achieve per day and people kinds of issues are effectively managed and effectively understood. However when it comes all the way down to among the different features of manufacturing, whether or not it’s animal well being and recording any illness points or the affect and price of illness or whether or not it’s biosecurity, how effectively are we doing and following our biosecurity plans, these issues have a tendency to not be measured. That’s only a comparability. There are some issues the place we handle it as a result of we’re measuring it and preserving monitor weekly or each day or month-to-month and there’s different issues the place we really feel we do an excellent job however the subsequent stage is to start out measuring a few of these issues so we actually know we’re doing an excellent job constantly
Hannam says with regards to biosecurity, we’re all on this collectively and we’re solely as sturdy because the weakest hyperlink in our pork provide chain so it’s all about working collectively to guard your entire sector.
