Pork Research Has a New Home
The Pork Research Hub Connects Producers with Practical Knowledge
Staying informed about the latest research can help pork producers make better decisions, improve productivity, strengthen animal health, and prepare for future challenges. The new Pork Research Hub makes that easier than ever by bringing Canada’s pork research together in one convenient, searchable location.
Developed through a partnership between Swine Innovation Porc (SIP), Prairie Swine Centre (PSC), the Centre de développement du porc du Québec (CDPQ), and the Canadian Centre for Swine Improvement (CCSI), with support from the Pork Promotion and Research Agency (PPRA), the Pork Research Hub serves as a central destination for trusted research, innovation, and practical resources for Canada’s pork sector.
Good News for Alberta Pork Producers
The pork industry continues to evolve as producers respond to changing markets, emerging diseases, labour challenges, environmental expectations, and new technologies. Having quick access to reliable, science-based information can help producers make informed decisions that improve both day-to-day operations and long-term profitability.
Rather than searching multiple websites for research papers or technical information, producers can now find everything in one place. Whether you’re looking for practical management strategies, the latest animal health research, or new production innovations, the Pork Research Hub simplifies the search.
What You’ll Find
The bilingual platform includes a growing collection of resources designed to support producers, veterinarians, researchers, students, and industry professionals, including:
- Research articles and scientific publications
- Technical factsheets and practical production resources
- Webinars and educational presentations
- Videos and podcasts
- Innovation stories from across Canada’s pork sector
- Searchable tools and reference materials
One of the Hub’s standout features is its Resource Library, which makes it easy to search for information by topic. It also includes a Research in Action section that highlights how Canadian research is being applied on farms and throughout the pork value chain, helping bridge the gap between scientific discovery and practical implementation.
Turning Research into Results
Research only creates value when it can be put into practice. The Pork Research Hub has been designed with that goal in mind by making research findings easier to access, understand, and apply.
For producers, this means:
- Finding practical solutions to production challenges faster.
- Learning about emerging technologies and management practices.
- Staying current on the latest animal health and welfare research.
- Accessing trusted information from leading Canadian swine research organizations.
- Saving time by searching one centralized platform instead of multiple sources.
