The protozoan causing the infection, Balantidium coli, is common in swine worldwide in warm and temperate climates, but is rarely reported in Canada. Although there appears to be little risk of acquiring B. coli in Canada, producers should be aware of the disease and its effects on their animals and themselves. The prevalence of balantidiasis in Canada is not known precisely since it is not a reportable disease in people, and few surveys have been conducted to determine its prevalence in swine.2016-01-04T17:35:03.336816+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/afff3682-6fdb-447d-9870-f8ff5b8cae24Bin composting of daily swine mortality2018-03-06T16:53:10.342272+00:00Composting swine mortalities has been proven to be a viable disposal option. Most of these composting system designs are based on daily mortalities and usually involve covered bin facilities. The following is the current recommended procedure for bin composting of daily swine mortality.2016-01-07T19:22:55.819942+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/8aad828b-c8ca-489f-9df6-a8583353cabcWindrow composting of swine (or disaster losses)2018-03-09T20:49:04.050642+00:00Composting swine mortalities has been proven to be a viable disposal option. Most swine composting system designs are based on daily mortalities and usually involve covered bin facilities. However, the same composting techniques can be used for regular mortality numbers or for disaster losses using an outside compost windrow.2016-01-07T19:10:50.803362+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/16e6d069-037a-47d1-a5c0-0086bbbcc944Weekly livestock market review [2018]2019-01-07T19:13:15.722478+00:00Presents weekly livestock market information for cattle, hogs and sheep.2018-01-08T23:22:52.844845+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/e46f7fcd-4f80-49dc-8824-f275ae8cc0cfExploring economic advantages and disadvantages of finishing hogs in Alberta : a comparison with Iowa / Minnesota2019-12-10T21:22:22.322459+00:00This report explores and compares production practices and cost of production (in 2012 and 2014) in hog finishing barns of Alberta and Iowa/Minnesota. The report also discusses on a high level other important factors that contribute to profitability of hog producers in Alberta and in the US, such as policy, labor, hog feed, and pricing. It is concluded that, compared to the US (Iowa/Minnesota) hog producers, Alberta hog producers have advantages related to production practices and processes (such as days to market, biosecurity, land base), but at an economic disadvantage of higher production costs and lower hog prices. The message of this report is that in terms of production efficiencies and product quality, Alberta hogs are at least as good as the US hogs (and some aspects of production practices may be even better). It is a combination of relatively higher prices and lower cost of production in the US that makes the US hog producers enjoy higher returns on average compared to Alberta hog producers.2015-12-22T16:23:29.067303+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/c7f1acb6-a6ec-427a-a952-d9b377b76345Weekly livestock market review [2019]2020-01-03T22:42:30.900105+00:00Presents weekly livestock market information for cattle, hogs and sheep.2019-01-07T19:14:01.684267+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/dae2d311-6506-4b83-8795-56845e6737a9Canola co-products for feeding pigs2020-02-25T20:02:22.846016+00:00Canola cold-pressed, expeller-pressed or solvent extracted. What is the difference among these products, and why should it matter to pork producers? After more than 30 years, pork producers have become familiar with feeding conventional canola meal. But in recent years, new terms have emerged that refer to novel canola co-products for animal feeding. Producers may wonder what these terms mean and what the differences are among co-products. And for the bottom line, excellent buying opportunities exist when shopping for canola co-products to increase profit margins and reduce feed costs.2016-01-07T19:34:16.891927+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/790ea5da-d7d7-41ae-ac74-f7f293b19018Weekly livestock market review [2020]2021-01-08T22:42:08.196052+00:00Presents weekly livestock market information for cattle, hogs and sheep.2020-01-03T22:43:30.764258+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/f6f9c5ee-2235-4fc9-a093-50dc273c19faTapeworms (cysticercosis) in swine2021-03-18T16:58:36.698615+00:00Cysticercosis is an infection caused by the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium. This parasite is found worldwide and is common in countries where raw or undercooked pork is eaten. Although incidences of infection are extremely rare in Canadian and American swine herds, over 1,000 human cases of cysticercosis are reported annually in the United States. Many of these human cases result after travel outside Canada and the United States.2016-01-04T17:28:37.968506+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/f8312e75-4cf5-4e3b-af28-ea4ae277899eSwine mortality composting [2021]2021-05-17T19:40:35.094996+00:00This publication is intended to assist swine owners considering or currently using composting as a means to dispose of swine mortalities. Under Alberta's Disposal of Dead Animals Regulation of the Animal Health Act, composting is one option for disposing of livestock mortalities. Composting in a properly-managed system will work to prevent livestock disease transmission, protect air and water quality and reduce the nuisance of carcasses and bones.2021-05-17T19:21:38.941311+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/1a118df8-7860-4165-8a7a-3764a944b3a7Weekly livestock market review [2021]2022-01-07T22:51:20.283699+00:00Presents weekly livestock market information for cattle, hogs and sheep.2021-01-08T15:57:36.408321+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/1ff09bb2-2293-48b9-a06c-d244e397c9b9Alberta trade in pork and live hogs : a five-year perspective, 1999 to 20032022-03-16T14:49:12.815939+00:00The purpose of this report is to provide a five-year trend analysis of Alberta exports and imports of pork and live hogs.

Three price risk management strategies are analysed and compared to selling hogs in the cash market: routine hedging, selective hedging, and forward contracting. In addition, the Hog Price Insurance Program offered by Agriculture Financial Services Corporation is evaluated for the September 2012 hog contract settlement.2019-12-10T21:37:08.442079+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/e80740b9-1a84-4d2e-866a-f74e62436299Weekly livestock market review [2023]2024-01-05T22:37:03.512127+00:00Presents weekly livestock market information for cattle, hogs and sheep.2023-01-06T23:01:35.437367+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/38b723e8-db70-4532-8d85-d5feae64e950Weekly livestock market review [2024]2024-03-22T21:44:38.018204+00:00Presents weekly livestock market information for cattle, hogs and sheep.2024-01-05T21:51:18.424573+00:00
