Manitoba Pork is pleased to welcome Dr. Glen Duizer to his new position as chief veterinary officer for the Province of Manitoba. Dr. Duizer’s appointment was announced on Tuesday, September 3rd.

“We would like to welcome Dr. Duizer to his new role and want to congratulate him on this well-deserved appointment”, said Manitoba Pork general manager Cam Dahl. “In his time working in the office of the chief veterinarian, Dr. Duizer has maintained a collaborative approach while building a strong foundation of open and transparent communication.”

Manitoba’s chief veterinary officer plays a key role when it comes to our province’s hog sector, especially in dealing with production diseases like PED and PRRS, as well as the profound threat of foreign animal diseases like ASF and FMD.

“We look forward to continuing to build on our deep working relationship with Dr. Duizer and his team, to ensure that Manitoba’s hog sector remains a leader in animal care and disease mitigation,” Dahl added.
