Prairie Livestock Expo Exhibitor Registration Now Open
Andrew Dickson - Manitoba Pork

Farmscape for September 27, 2016

The Chair of Prairie Livestock Expo says this year's edition of the biennial event is expected to attract between one thousand and 15 hundred livestock producers.
Exhibitor registration for the 2016 edition of "Prairie Livestock Expo," slated for December 14 at the Victoria Inn Hotel & Convention Centre in Winnipeg, is now open.
The event, which is held every other year in Winnipeg, typically attracts between one thousand and 15 hundred visitors from the various livestock sectors in the province.
Andrew Dickson, the General Manager of Manitoba Pork and Chair of Prairie Livestock Expo says the event is designed as a chance to have a little bit of fun and learn something during the day.

Clip-Andrew Dickson-Prairie Livestock Expo:
Prairie Livestock Expo has grown out of the old Hog and Poultry Days that we used to have in Manitoba.
It's a one day exhibition put on by the service companies and industry associations where people involved in the livestock sector can come together and learn what's new in products and new techniques directly from the various companies.
They have exhibits and displays and so on and we have various presentations.
Topics are short, usually 20 minutes or so.
Some of them will be company products where the rep will be talking about, say a new drug or a new form of mechanical equipment that might be used in the barn or something that would be used outside.
We have people from the research community providing some of their latest findings in terms of animal nutrition or manure management, feed preparation, ration design and so on.
