Small-Scale Swine Disease Surveillance Project Launched

Alberta Agri-News

Aproject to monitor swine disease in small Alberta hog operations was announced May 21.

“This project is very similar to the Small Flock Disease Investigation Program but is designed to target swine producers, both small-scale domestic and wild boar producers, who have 10 sows or fewer, or who market 100 pigs or fewer per year,” says Leanna Grenwich, surveillance veterinarian with the Alberta government.

“The main goal of this project is surveillance and early detection of federally and provincially reportable diseases like African swine fever, salmonella, influenza, porcine epidemic diarrhea, swine delta coronavirus and transmissible gastroenteritis and to help veterinarians and producers.”

The project is designed to help producers directly or help private veterinarians who refer cases from small-scale swine producers.

Not all pigs from small-scale swine herds will be accepted for testing. The herd’s symptoms must meet at least one of the following criteria:

• sudden increase in number of deaths

• sudden increase in abortions

• illness manifested by septicemia (red to purple discolouration of the ears, abdomen and sometimes legs) leading to death

• increased number of pigs having diarrhea leading to death

• increased rate of difficulty in breathing and coughing leading to death

Only dead pigs will be examined. Whole carcasses will get a post-mortem examination and will be tested for ASF, influenza virus, coronaviruses or salmonella as determined by the attending veterinarian or veterinary pathologist.

Once the post-mortem is done, the Alberta government veterinary pathologist or an assigned veterinarian will contact the submitter to provide the findings. A preliminary report will be provided.

“Should the pigs be positive for a reportable or notifiable disease (provincial or federal), our veterinarians will provide information on the disease response required and will work together with the producer or their veterinarian to ensure the appropriate measures are taken,” says Grenwich.

There is no fee for submitting carcasses for testing but producers are responsible for the cost of getting the carcasses or samples to a government laboratory.

“It is important for producers or veterinarians to contact us first to confirm submission approval before dropping off a carcass,” said Grenwich.

“This ensures the circumstances meet the submission criteria and that you have a submission form. In some cases, the location closest to you may not be the location you will be asked to ship the carcasses to.”

Equine Metabolic Syndrome Explained

By Dr. Charlotte Corbett, DVM

Is your horse or pony an easy keeper? Does it see grass and gain weight?

Horses evolved by grazing over large areas, walking miles in a day to food and water. Some breeds were developed to survive in areas with poor feed.

This can be a double-edged sword when they are given free choice of food and limited exercise because horses can develop Equine Metabolic Syndrome.

It is not just one thing that causes EMS, but a combination of factors such as genetics, diet and lifestyle. Your horse’s body is a complex machine, with di erent parts working together to keep it running smoothly. EMS is a glitch in this system, disrupting how the horse’s body handles food and energy.

One of the main culprits behind EMS is insulin dysregulation. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels in the body.

In horses with EMS, this regulation goes haywire, leading to too much insulin oating around. Think of it like having too much sugar in your bloodstream all the time. It’s not good for your body, and the same goes for horses.

Persistently high levels of insulin can lead to insulin resistance, where the horse’s cells become less responsi e to the e ects of insulin and it is less e ecti e at promoting uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells for energy.

Insulin is also a storage hormone, and one of its functions is to help store excess glucose (sugar) as fat. High insulin levels can lead to increased fat depos-

its, contributing to obesity in horses. Obesity in turn makes insulin resistance worse. It is a vicious cycle.

Just like in humans, some horses struggle with their weight. But it’s not just about looking a little pudgy. Excess fat can mess with their metabolism. Obesity is both a risk factor to developing EMS and can make it worse once a horse has EMS.

You might notice your horse carrying extra weight around its neck, shoulders or tailhead.

Other factors include diet, exercise and genetics. Some horse breeds are more prone to developing EMS. These include ponies, Morgans and Arabians, but any breed can develop the syndrome.

High carbohydrate diets (such as lush pastures and grains) can make EMS worse by spiking insulin levels. Exercise helps to decrease the risk by preventing obesity and insulin resistance. Older horses are more prone to EMS.

Now, let’s talk about why EMS matters. The main reason is laminitis, a painful condition that a ects a horse’s hoofs. Horses with EMS are more likely to get laminitis and management can be tough.

Imagine trying to walk with sharp rocks poking into your feet. That’s what laminitis feels like for horses. The lamina is the Velcro-like tissue that holds the outside hoof to the horse’s co in bone within the hoof. When this becomes in amed, it is extremely painful and can cause the bone to rotate within the foot.

Any horse that is overweight and has had several episodes of laminitis most likely has MS. It a ects

reproduction as well and can predispose the horse to other endocrine disorders, such as Cushing’s.

EMS is not all doom and gloom. There are ways to manage it and help horses live happy, healthy lives. The most important aspect of treatment is diet and exercise.

The goal with diet management is to decrease sugar and starch. Decreasing the amount fed is usually the first step. In general horses need two per cent of their body weight in hay daily.

In horses with EMS that are already on a diet, strategies include testing the hay to determine sugar levels, soaking the hay to remove excess sugars, and restricting grass. Regular exercise helps shed those extra pounds but also impro es o erall fitness and keeps metabolism in check.

By understanding EMS and taking steps to manage it, we can help our horses live longer, happier lives. re ention can be di icult but regular exercise paired with diet changes can greatly decrease the risk.

If you suspect EMS, contact your veterinarian to discuss diagnosis and management. Your vet will perform a physical exam and will often run bloodwork to assess insulin and glucose levels. X-rays can be done to check the hooves for signs of laminitis. Some horses will need medications.

A plan can be made for your horse to help decrease the e ects of MS. re ention is key. ody condition score your horse regularly to ensure they are not getting overweight.

How to Work Through the Reseeding Decision

Canola Council of Canada Canola Watch

When growers have canola stands of fewer than four plants per square foot, they grapple with the question of whether to reseed.

An established uniform canola stand with as few as two plants per square foot generally has higher economic potential than a thicker stand reseeded late.

This is far below the minimum fi e per s uare foot generally re uired to meet yield potential, but a thin stand seeded early has greater economic potential (considering cost of production, yield and quality) than an adequate stand that doesn’t get established until mid to late June.

If cutworms are the cause of a poor stand, they can remain a problem well into June, even for a reseeded crop. In this case, for the reseeded crop use a seed treatment that kills cutworms. Monitor for cutworm feeding when the new crop emerges and apply an insecticide if needed.

The canola plasticity graph shows how a thin stand can still produce a decent yield. Canola plants with more room to grow produce a lot more pods per plant.

RESEEDING MAY BE THE BETTER OPTION IF:

The stand is not uniform. If large areas of the field ha e fewer than one plant per s uare foot, while some areas ha e fi e to 1 , for example, this field will not likely ha e the same yield potential as a field with one to two plants (or more) spread e enly across the field. uniform stand is crucial at low plant populations.

Weeds are large and outnumber the crop and cannot be controlled e ecti ely with in-crop sprays.

Crop insurance will pay a reseed benefit and or seed companies ha e reseeding rebates on seed. This helps with the economics, especially in May when a reseeded crop still has time to reach its yield potential.

Seed choice is another factor. 1 1 study at Western pplied esearch Corporation in Scott, Sask., found that reseeding to the same full-season ariety in early une resulted in significantly higher yields at per cent of sites compared to the low plant population control (fewer than four plants per square foot) seeded in mid-May. The study found that the chances of

getting No. 1 grade are lower with canola reseeded in une in this situation, but higher yield potential and a crop insurance reseed benefit can make up for it about half the time.

The study also found that: re-seeding in early June to a slightly shorter season ariety (the trial used ) resulted in higher yields than the earlier seeded low population control at only per cent of site years reseeding to olish canola did not pay and reseeding in mid une did not pay.

Final considerations in the reseed decision, as outlined in the study, are to look at the current and forecast moisture situation to make sure the reseeded crop can emerge quickly, and keep in mind that big plants from a thin stand may provide harvest challenges in terms of variability.

Questions for grower to answer:

What are the details of your crop insurance reseeding benefit oes your seed company o er a reseed benefit for canola

FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Can growers gi e the crop a few more days Waiting will gi e a better impression of how many seedlings survived and will give ungerminated seed a chance to emerge and contribute to the stand. If growers have crop still to seed, consider seeding those fields and then come back to the reseeding uestion. eseeding in late May will have nearly the same yield potential as reseeding in mid-May.

Leave test strips. If growers do decide to reseed, leave at least two separate test strips from the original stand. Compare management issues for the reseeded crop and the original strips, and compare yield results. This may help with future reseeding decisions.

Fertilizer needs for the reseeded crop. If soil has low baseline P levels, some seedplaced may benefit the reseeded crop. If soil reser es are medium or better and soils are warm and moist for rapid early growth, extra may not be re uired for the reseeded crop. Sulphur and nitrogen should not be re uired for the reseeded crop, pro ided these nutrients were applied at re uired amounts the first time.

Spray out the first crop. If the stand is less than one to two plants per s uare foot, growers may still want to spray them out to eliminate the competition and even out maturity. These few more mature plants will not contribute to harvest yield, and the competition will take nutrients and moisture from the reseeded stand.

urno applied prior to the reseeded crop will also manage weed growth that may ha e occurred since the first burno . If growers are concerned about getting the reseeding done (or maybe there isn’t a good spraying day in short term), it may also make sense to seed a di erent T system and spray out the pre ious crop in crop. This option can also help with the issue of canola that is still not actively growing at the time of reseeding.

eseeding is not ust about yield potential. y reseeding, growers can a oid the season-long headaches that come with managing a thin stand.

Seed supply. efore you reseed, check on the seed supply. Can you get the seed you want

Check field conditions. eseeding into dry soil may not achie e much of an improvement in the stand and emergence will be further delayed due to slow emergence. ry conditions may be the reason for poor establishment in the first place.

Pork Industry Gets Money to Prepare for ASF

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

The federal government announced $9.65 million May 17 to help Canada’s rural communities and pork sector prevent and prepare for an African swine fever outbreak.

ASF is a viral disease that only impacts pigs. While it has not been found in Canada to date, it poses a significant risk to the health of the Canadian swine herd, the pork industry and the Canadian economy.

Francis Drouin, parliamentary secretary to the federal agriculture minister, announced the funds for 29 African Swine Fever Industry Preparedness Program projects in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

The investment will fund ASF research, improved biosecurity measures, wild pig management acti ities, retrofits of existing abattoirs, regional preparation for depopulation and disposal of healthy hogs, and sector analysis, engagement and education tools.

“Animal diseases, including African swine fever, are a serious threat to Canada’s pork sector, and it’s vitally important that all orders of government and industry take steps to prevent and prepare,” said federal agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay.

These pro ects are a key part of Canada’s e orts to pre ent an S outbreak while ensuring our pork sector is ready to respond.”

rouin said these e orts will re uire cooperation between the federal, pro incial and territorial governments and industry.

“This program not only supports our pork industry’s commitment to prevention and preparation efforts against African swine fever, it also supports efforts to prevent and prepare for other potential foreign animal diseases,” he said.

The Canadian ork Council welcomed the news, noting it re ects a shared commitment to safeguarding our pork industry’s resilience and sustainability through embracing new ideas and an industry-wide approach,” said CPC chair Rene Roy.

Louis-Philippe Roy, president of the Éleveurs de porcs du Québec and the uipe u b coise de sant porcine, likened S to a sword of amocles dangling over the heads of every member of our industry.”

QUICK FACTS

•Preventing and preparing for foreign animal diseases is a shared responsibility between federal, provincial and territorial governments and industry.

detection of S in Canada would immediately stop exports of pork products and li e pigs, which could significantly impact the pork industry that supports over 100,000 direct and indirect jobs and generates over $24 billion for the Canadian economy.

•ASF is not a threat to human health, it cannot be transmitted from pigs to humans, and it is not a food safety issue. However, it is a contagious and deadly iral disease a ecting domestic and wild pigs.

•Since 2018, ASF has spread through parts of Asia and Europe, and was detected in the Caribbean in 2021. It has never been found in Canada or the United States.

The Canadian pork industry exports roughly two thirds of its pork production and millions of li e hogs per year. In , pork exports were alued at . billion, excluding . million li e swine exported throughout the year.

Canola Basis Provides Market Signals

Alberta Agri-News

Canola producers, particularly those with canola in storage, follow cash prices. However, not all canola producers track basis, the di erence between the cash price and the futures price, says Neil Blue, provincial crops market analyst with the Alberta government.

“Following basis can give clues to what is happening in the market and provide pricing opportunity.”

The basis is found by subtracting the futures price from a cash price.

For example, near mid-May, one Alberta canola buyer’s bid for July delivery was $650/tonne. At that time, July canola futures was at $667/tonne. The cash price of $650

minus the futures price of $667 equals a minus $17/tonne July delivery basis.

This is sometimes referred to as an “under” basis, or $17 under the July futures. At the same time, another Alberta canola buyer had a bid of $657/tonne for July delivery canola. The basis of that buyer was $657 minus the July futures of $667, or minus $10/tonne.

“In this example, both canola buyers are pricing with the uly futures, but there is a significant di erence in their bids for July delivery due to their individual basis levels,” explains Blue.

“A decision for a canola seller of which buyer to contract a

sale with may depend on delivery costs, grading experience with buyers, contract di erences and personal relationships.

“Buyers set their basis level according to how aggressively they need to attract delivery commitments from producers, strengthening their basis relative to the futures price when they need more product, and weakening their basis when they are more comfortable with their product needs being met for a given delivery period.”

Figure 1 is a 6-month chart of average elevator basis levels in central Alberta compared to average crusher basis levels for July 2024 delivery canola.

For most of the winter, the average crusher basis level was relatively strong compared to the weaker average ele ator basis le els. These relati e basis le els were re ective of demand. Canadian canola exports during this crop year have been relatively low while Canadian crusher volume is on pace to set a record high.

As the crop year progressed to early May, there was increased interest in canola exports as re ected in the improving elevator basis levels. Meanwhile, crusher basis levels weakened, indicating that, on average, the crushers are increasingly comfortable with their contracted levels with producers.

“Note that short-term ‘specials’, or temporary strengthening of the basis to attract contracting by producers, are not re ected in the chart. lso, sometimes ele ators will sell canola to crushers, so ele ator buying may not re ect 100 per cent export business,” says Blue.

Most buyers o er the ability to ust contract the basis portion of price. Doing so when basis levels are considered to be strong can be good strategy. Stronger basis levels often are o ered when futures prices are relati ely low as a buyer tries to encourage producers to contract deliveries.

“While a producer may hold unpriced canola in storage during the winter market doldrums, expecting futures prices to improve on growing season price volatility, that can be a good time to ust lock in the basis with a buyer of choice.”

If and when the futures market rallies, which happened this spring, buyers tend to weaken their basis levels. Meanwhile, a producer who locked in the stronger basis earlier has the potential to take full advantage of the higher futures price to complete their deferred delivery contract.

The bottom line, says Blue, is that following basis levels can be successfully used to capture a better price from the market or at least provide information on market conditions.
