La Broquerie-based Hylife, one of Canada’s leading pork producers, has recently overhauled the dated, inefficient incandescent lighting in its 65 hog barns with high efficiency LED lamps – over 14,300 of them.

The Chief Operator Officer with Hylife says, to maintain the viability of Manitoba’s pork production and processing industries, there is a need to replace older hog finishing barns and add new ones.

The Director of Animal Health with Hylife says the ability to assure customers that the meat they purchase will be completely free of needle fragments has enabled the company to justify the added costs of adopting needle-free injection systems.

The vice-president of Hylife says Canada’s participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership will help maintain his company’s competitiveness in Japan, while creating new export opportunities in other nations.

The director of sow nursery production with HyLife says improved training programs have allowed the company dramatically reduce staff turnover and improve the morale of employees.

Steinbach MLA, Kelvin Goertzen, spent this past Tuesday in Neepawa at the invitation of Hylife representatives Dennis Vielfaure, Don Janzen and Guy Beaudry.

The Honourable Vic Toews, MP for Provencher, issued a statement today in regards to the investment from Itochu Corporation of Japan in La Broquerie’s HyLife Foods Ltd.

The Mayor of the Town of Neepawa says the expansion of the Hylife Foods pork processing plant is helping fuel a level of growth not seen in his lifetime.

The executive Vice President of Hylife Foods warns the ability of his company’s recently upgraded Neepawa pork processing plant to access adequate hog supplies is being threatened by the Manitoba government’s expansion of its moratorium on new hog barn construction.
