The federal and Ontario governments announced they have $7.5 million to spend on enhancing biosecurity in the food chain.
The program expands on $3 million that was earmarked for the pork sector.
This initiative will be available to Ontario businesses such as veterinary clinics, livestock auction barns and commingling facilities, grain elevators, seed treatment facilities, and transportation providers.
Examples of eligible projects include establishing or improving cleaning practices, creating isolation facilities, constructing wash bays for disinfecting and training to support the mitigation of biosecurity risks in food production.
