How Pigs Are Raised
Pig farmers care for their animals 365 days a year, including holidays! Maintaining pig health is a farmer's pride and passion.
Pig Basics
Everything you ever wanted to know about pigs… but didn't know who to ask. Most Canadians (98%) are not farmers and may not know what happens on a Manitoba hog farm. The good news is that farmers want to share their story and talk about how they raise their pigs and produce the pork you eat.
The Dirt on Pigs and the Environment
Manitoba farmers are stewards of the land, committed to preserving our province’s natural resources for future generations by following some of the strictest environmental regulations in North America. As food needs rise, Manitoba hog farmers are working to reduce farming’s impact on the environment and to advance animal agriculture’s conservation efforts, while also producing more food.
