The first federally registered pre-rigor sow processing plant in Canada has opened up in Blumenort, Manitoba.
On January 11, Jowett Farms Corporation harvested a total of 15 sows at its new state-of-the-art facility.
Jowett notes after a lot of research, they found that this was an untapped market in Canada.
"We found that a lot of processors in Canada have not had access to this product before, it's all gone down to the US...We decided to do it and we're getting a lot of interest from all over, but mainly Canada at the moment."
