Swine Sector
In today's complex and sophisticated swine industry, producers need access to leading edge technology to make management and nutrition changes. In this global market, the focus must be on producing the quality of pork demanded by our global customers.
Shur-Gain is Canada's leading manufacturer and distributor of swine premixes, supplements and complete feeds.
Since 1938,
Shur-Gain has set the standard in Canada for innovative feeds and feeding programs dedicated to optimizing performance and productivity of sows
and market hogs.
Genetics plays a significant role in determining the pattern of lean tissue deposition in the animal. High lean genotypes produce more muscle, less fat and are physically and physiologically different. They grow faster, show better feed efficiency and achieve maximum lean growth at heavier slaughter weights.
Watson®
Growth and development of swine follow predictable patterns throughout the growing cycle. With all of the calculations needed to determine the nutritional needs of high lean growing pigs, under varied management systems, computer growth modeling is the only effective way to balance diets that meet the changing needs of the pigs from birth to market.
Shur-Gain’s Watson® computer growth modeling program enables our Swine Specialists to customize individual producers feeding programs for their specific herds and performance potential. This sophisticated program, developed by
Shur-Gain's Swine Research Team, has been thoroughly tested and proven at Nutreco Canada Agresearch.
