73302 halton mp suggests hog marketing changes a number of changes in the present government policies were suggested for pig marketing and production in canada by sandy best halton mp in a speech in the house of commons on april 10th the second instalment of mr best s speech in reproduced be low of course during the second world war we supplied a very large percentage of the british market a significant contribution which all canadian hog producers had the opportunity of marking during that period for instance during 1944 canada supplied 79 per cent of all britain s bacon imports and in 1943 83 percenttunng the war years britain s imports from can ada were running at over 50 per cent of the total virtually each season this was done through the method of annual agreements or contracts through the meat board of canada and the british ministry of food th figures during some of these years and particularly for 1943 and 1944 were very large in deed one could examine the fig urcs for 1944 for example and see that our total exports of bacon and ham amounted to 148 million virtually all of which went to the united kingdom i would submit that this is- a very large export figure although of course british dollar restrictions have reduced it to almost negligible proportions since 1951 thus we have had most interesting and active export market one that could bear look ing into again in addition to the gradihg system which changed very much our quality of hot production we have had ihe sjstem of record of per duction production methods themserrei have tended toward greater volume and efficiency we have here what is probably an inescapable fact in that unit volume production of hogs will continue to increase lioijajendfeemseiyes to pyra- nfldal form of population growth while one would not expect to see the same increase one finds in broilers one would detect a defin ite trend toward greater efficiency this will lead to new problems but also to increased potential we have in canada two mm new breeds of hogs 1 wish to take particular reference to the land- tace breed which has come in offer ing the last four or five which ts making mark on the canadian hoc i need only point out that in issu the first year ifi which the cana dian national livestock record registered this new breed there were some 1 172 animals registered by 1958 the number has jumped to 14268 compared with some 21131 for the long established yorkshires in other words last year the race breed registered virtually two- thirds the total of yorkshires tered the latter heing the tradi tional canadian breed these the figures registered with the canadian national livestock record office in addition we have the new lacombe breed developed at the lacombe station in alberta breed that promises to give con siderable impetus to the production of purebred animals it will have a considerable potential in high fficienc hog production and will also be applied in the increasing trend toward cross breeding in this country thus it seems to me we tace manj challenges at this time formwee or idinri rfnry m 1 feel we must expand our record well this svstem has provided in ji pll fuiiume and

whom the commercial producers would de pend it has indicaled how the breeders could improve their stock in the best fashion in 1929 the advanced registry system for hogs was- started on an experimental basis in 1934 the advanced registry board recommended the setting up of central station for testing hog all of this produced effects which benefitted the commercial produe ers in terms of improving the qual ity of pork produced ahd it served r t as m main taming some of our export markets i have here the figures for the record of performance or advanced registry stations across canada as of march 31 1959 there were some 418 pens or units in use in the seven stations each taking four hogs at a time on this basis there has been a considerable turnover of testing groups under this sys tern i will not go into the figures of turnover in detail hjit it may interest hon members to know that in the season 195859 over 1000 groups were tested in these seven stations in the last few years we have had a problem in ontario while government officials may point out that these stations are sometimes not running at full capacity there is a definite trend toward over crowding of these stations partic ularly in ontario the figures i have obtained for 195657 for in stance indicate that lntjntarib some 50 tests had to be turned down for lack of accommodation in 1957 58 52 tests were turned down and in 195859 70 tests were turned down i should like to have more information on that subject i believe this was at the last stage where breeders were turned down on these animals before they were sent to the station it might be added that further discouragement came simply because of overcrowd ing and prevented a considerable number of breeders from entering lheir stock at the station m water loo and having it tested the canadian hog industry faces many definite problems as docs the advanced registry sstem there is for instance the question of whether or not we should

hmttwmb a rufmne fmm tl 7471 come more widesprcid to my mind this q ustion alone makes it essent al that increased facilities be provided for record of perform fhee and advanced registry since pure breeds will continue to play a large part i would suggest to the minister and i hope he will view my request favourably that the facilities be increased at water loo or that a new station be bktlt to accommodate the ever increas ing number of units going through each season as advanced registry breeders in ontario we feel this is an important point in development and dissemination of information for purebred bog breeders in that province as i mentioned before the in dustry today appears to be in a considerable state of flux this situation is brought about by many causes one of these is the increas ed knowledge we hare with regard to disease and nutrition increased research on this subject has made it possible for much more efficient production for greater pavings in litter numbers and greater enlarge ment of the whole physiological and nutritional aspects of hog nro- strj station facilities this would atrvt as an incentive to hog pro- luurs in the improvement of their lock another incentive would come if the present one dollar premium on rade b 1 hogs were removed and added to the two dollar premium grade a hogs i do not think should encourage a 2nd grade of hog the encouragement offered to trade a production is not aufftc- todaj even with the price differential which the packers are paying plus the premium it i often found that producers through different methods of production re ceive a greater net return by pro ducing grade b hogs t would sug gest that the premium be raised grade a hogs to provide a greater incentive in canada for pro duction of hogs of this grade this is important for various reasons we have seen the increase in our united states markets and exports from my personal knowl edge and experience in the united states i am able to state that the producers in that country are ing considerable progress inraising jiie qualify of theuvhogs we their experienceon the quabty level is considerably below ours as a matter of fact i fuutut rather interesting to note that one ot the mam reference books on oar cana dian system of hog production ts one produced by the research dm- sion of the united states depart ment of agriculture published in april of 1838 a year or so before that they sent a commission or group to canada to study the methods of grading breeding and selection we had introduced into our hog business during the prev ious 30 years while united states marketings are still done on a live basis and their quality of pork products is far below ours they are taking significant and important steps to improve their
