- 1. The Changing Face of the Canadian Hog Industry ArchivedArticles and reports: 96-325-X201400114027Geography: CanadaDescription:
The Canadian hog industry has changed greatly over the years. Data collected by the Census of Agriculture show that the industry has undergone a radical transformation. It has evolved from being an industry with a very large number of mixed farms, each possessing only a few pigs, to one with fewer large and highly specialized farms. It now plays a major role in exports and is constantly improving in terms of technology.

The objective of this article is a comprehensive statistical review of Canadian agriculture in 2007, a compilation of key statistical information along with the analysis and interpretations of Statistics Canada's commodity specialists.
Release date: 2008-10-02 - 3. Manure Management in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-021-M2004001Geography: CanadaDescription:
Manure Management in Canada presents information on various characteristics of manure management as practised on Canadian farms. This analysis is based on results of the 2001 Farm Environmental Management Survey (FEMS) and discussion focuses mainly on farms raising some level of livestock, irrespective of the major commodities produced.
Release date: 2004-06-28 - Articles and reports: 21-004-X20030096514Geography: CanadaDescription:
Over the last few years, the rapid expansion of large livestock operations has fuelled heated debates in many rural communities across Canada. Proposals for new hog operations, among others, have encountered vocal opposition from neighbours and residents in the community. Promoters defended the economic value of their project claiming that good farming practices and improved technology minimizes the potential risk of nuisance and pollution. However, opponents raised concerns about the reduction of their quality of life in association with large livestock operations, especially hog farms. They fear being driven out of their homes by strong odours or worry about accidental contamination of ground water in surrounding areas, as in Walkerton, Ontario. Still others are upset by prospects of added truck traffic, dust and noise resulting from feed and livestock transportation.
Release date: 2003-10-22 - 5. Manure Storage in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-021-M2003001Geography: CanadaDescription:
Sustainable development and environmental health are priorities of the agriculture sector. Canadian farmers are actively involved in environmental initiatives and are adopting farming practices that minimize risk to air, water and soil, while contributing to the conservation of biodiversity. The 2001 Farm Environmental Management Survey (FEMS), conducted by Statistics Canada in March 2002, was carried out on behalf of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in order to measure current farm environmental initiatives and farming practices.
The survey collected information from 16,000 farmers on the management of manure, grazing systems, crop nutrients, pesticides, soil and water, as well as whole farm environmental management.
Release date: 2003-09-12 - 6. Livestock concentrations - Where are they? ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-004-X20010035612Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article gives a "snapshot" of where the larger concentrations of livestock were in May 1996. This information would be useful to planners, investors, non-governmental organizations, rural communities, and governments. This could help them decide where to expand livestock production without putting the environment at risk.
