Over the years, raising hogs/nursery pigs for the pork industry has become increasingly difficult. New diseases, increased commodity costs, nutrient management, increased regulatory pressure and depressed hog prices have all impacted the pork industry.

In today’s environment it has become imperative that producers know the cost of producing each kg of pork they produce and to utilize this information as they calculate their return on investment.

Realizing that feed costs typically represent 65 percent of the cost of producing each kg of pork, we at Grand Valley Fortifiers are compelled to provide Ontario producers with a record of performance tracking system free of charge.

With the launch of the Grow It & Know It™ program, this important information will is regularly provided to grower/finishers and nursery pig producers, helping them better understand their cost of production. We believe that the advice our Swine Specialists provide and the products we supply will allow you to minimize your costs, resulting in maximum profitability for your operation.
