As of April 1, Canadian farmers had 11.8 million hogs on their farms, up 1.4% from the same date in 2010, despite a 3.5% reduction in the number of hog operations.
Sow inventories remained virtually unchanged from April 1, 2010, at 1.3 million head. In addition, farmers anticipated no significant changes in the number of sows expected to farrow during the second and third quarters of 2011.
