The Western Hog Section is a hog production value chain in Western Canada that ensures prosperity of farmers in the region. Members receive personalized advice on nutrition, animal health, farm management, and water quality.

The Western Hog Section is aimed at hog farmers in Alberta and Saskatchewan. It unites the strengths of Sollio Cooperative Group, Sollio Agriculture and Olymel.

The Filière porcine coopérative is a business model that combines the power of integrated production and entrepreneurial values of independent Québec swine producers.

The network still maintains the same objectives that it had set for itself when it was founded over 10 years ago: to be a hub for the production of high-quality pork at a competitive price, to distribute it around the world, and to generate wealth for member producers.

Single ingredients representative Sylvain Gélinas is quick to admit it: “Before 2020, Sollio Agriculture was not a major player in the market for single ingredients for making feed on the farm.” The tide turned when the network began to invest in this key area of livestock production at the request of its members.
