North 49 Foods offers details on benefits of $1 million investment to prepare for foreign animal disease

With the support of the Saskatchewan Government and Sask Pork, North 49 Foods will be helping the western Canadian pork industry be better prepared to address foreign animal disease. The Government of Saskatchewan and Sask Pork have allocated $1 million to support the creation of a cull line at the North 49 Foods sow processing facility being built by Donald’s Fine Foods in Moose Jaw. Earlier this week, Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced $700,000 in funding to support swine disease mitigation efforts with Sask Pork providing $300,000 towards a swine market disruption plan, which will help industry respond to potential market closures due to an animal health emergency.
