The Critical Move to Save Canada’s Swine Industry: How One Program is Reshaping the Future of Veterinary Medicine
Nearly a decade ago, Dr. John Harding, a professor, researcher, and practicing swine veterinarian at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, noticed a troubling trend across Canada. The country’s swine veterinarians were aging and nearing retirement, but young veterinarians were showing little interest in replacing them in this critical field.
As Harding watched the shortage grow, he knew that the swine industry—Canada’s fourth-largest farming sector—needed a solution. The country’s 7,000 pig farms, which produce over 25.5 million animals annually, depend on skilled swine veterinarians to manage herd health, disease prevention, and biosecurity to protect the industry from outbreaks. But with fewer young vets entering the field, Harding realized that change was essential.
