		If you are an Ontario pork producer, you already have a piece of this easier-on-the-environment pig thanks to the 20 cents per hog deducted by Ontario Pork from settlement cheques.
		He likens the discovery process to "playing the 6-49," and says the project is a tribute to the "courage and the vision of Ontario pork producers." Beginning late last year Forsberg's team conducted the first few implantations of the phytase gene together with a regulator from a mouse gene.
		Ontario Pork has since financed the replacement of 14 farrowing crates at the university with a model "that is more piglet-friendly," Forsberg relates.

	Swine industry
		At the national level, the Canadian Centre for Swine Improvement (CCSI) was formed as part of the privatization of national genetic evaluation services.

		The Township Council of Adjala-Tosorontio in the Alliston area has asked Trent Hills and all other municipalities in Ontario to support their resolution to reinstate funding that was eliminated back in August for the Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) program.
		DHI is a non-profit organization that provides management advice to dairy farmers and became a partner of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) in 1981 when milk recording was privatized.
		Three quarters of Ontario's dairy farmers are DHI customers, who now face increased fees to cover the loss of funding from OMAF.

	Stressed Pigs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		During the early 1970's, however, it became clear that these improvements were being made at the price of an increased frequency of pale, soft and watery meat, and an increased frequency of pigs with a peculiar sensitivity to stress.
		For example, as part of the Ontario Pork Carcass Appraisal Project, some 3,000 Ontario pigs with detailed information on growth, carcass composition and carcass quality are being tested for this gene.
		On a direct practical level, the availability of this test has allowed pig breeders worldwide to detect and eliminate carriers of this gene in their population, thereby eliminating the stress susceptibility syndrome and improving the welfare of commercial pigs, as well as making substantial improvements in meat quality.
