Livestock and poultry production, including beef, dairy, chickens, turkeys, eggs, pork, sheep and lambs, are economic cornerstones of many communities across British Columbia.
Our livestock and poultry sector is a source of safe, high-quality meat products and world-renowned beef and dairy genetics.
Our clean environment, good water quality, favourable climate, and relatively young age of the animals used for meat production combine for high-quality, tender beef that is a trademark of western Canada. On the other hand, pork processed in B.C. is top-quality, safe and delicious. B.C. pork is a healthy option containing high-quality protein and 12 essential vitamins and minerals.
