Disease prevention starts at the hatchery, but there are a number of steps that farmers need to take after that.

Preventive measures at the hatchery will help protect the chicks that you receive. These include:

• Eradicating egg-borne pathogens

• Building genetic resistance in the chicks

• Building chick immunity through maternal antibodies

   

One of the five objectives of Quebec’s Sustainable Agriculture Plan is to optimize water management in agriculture.

Water quality allows us to assess the efforts of the agricultural industry to reduce its environmental footprint. Using water responsibly and protecting water quality on farms and in drainage basins are key to combating climate change.

One of the five objectives of Quebec’s Sustainable Agriculture Plan is to reduce the use of pesticides and the risks that they pose to health and the environment.

Farmers today have access to a wide range of cover crop and green manure mixes to meet the specific needs of their fields.

Without a cover crop, approximately 70% of rainwater runs off the land. To restore water to the soil and combat drought, farmers need to help water get back into the soil.

One way to do this is to use green manure or cover crops.

The Québec government’s Sustainable Agriculture Plan aims to improve soil health and conservation.

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.

Sollio Agriculture’s range of horse products was revamped with new formulas and carefully selected ingredients. Read on for answers to the main questions you might have about the changes.

Why was the line of horse feeds and supplements revamped?

This product revamp was achieved by combining the following ranges to create the new Sollio Agriculture horse feed line:

• Célébrité/Québec and Ontario

• Atlantic Horse feeds/Atlantic provinces

The difficult winters and droughts of the last few years have put a strain on hay production. As a result, inventories are so low on Québec farms that some are talking about a shortage. To optimize yields and replenish inventories, meadows must be properly fertilized with N-Prairies fertilizers for pulses and grasses.

Here at Sollio Agriculture’s research farm, we leave nothing to chance. It takes several years of research and field work all over the country to get a product to your field. Our team will even hand make certain varieties and use them to bake bread. It’s that kind of attention to detail and innovative spirit that ultimately helps farmers improve their yields.
