For us, the abolition of gestation crates is inevitable, and the Canadian pork production industry will have to adapt to this reality. By 2029, we aim for all pigs slaughtered in our facilities to come from maternity farms where sows are raised with the ability to move freely.

The CO2 anesthesia system eliminates the handling of animals before slaughter, thereby reducing their stress and injuries. Moreover, employee safety and meat quality are greatly improved.

In addition to having ceased the use of antibiotics as a growth factor, we favor a significant reduction in their preventive use.

By promoting better treatment for animals, we match our actions to our words:
We take all necessary measures to improve animal comfort and avoid suffering. We enforce zero tolerance for any actions contrary to our commitment, both on farms and in slaughterhouses. We have developed training and awareness campaigns for employees, suppliers, and partners. Thus, everyone can acquire the knowledge and skills essential to animal welfare.
