Education and Events

This month, ANAC welcomed the second cohort of learners to the Canadian Feed Industry Education Program (CFIEP)’s Module 9: Hands-on workshop at the Canadian Feed Research Centre (CFRC).  

ANAC’s 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Convention was a great success, bringing together feed industry leaders from across Canada and recognizing their achievements. Attendees established new business relationships, reflected on the industry’s accomplishments and gained valuable takeaways from thought-provoking presentations. 

Following a $29.2 million investment from the Government of Canada, new opportunities are available for businesses through Talent Innovation Canada (TICAN). TICAN is a new, industry-led, national not-for-profit organization that will connect top research and development (R&D) talent from Canadian universities with innovative companies.  

From May 5 to 7, more than 300 participants gathered in Edmonton, Alberta for the 10th anniversary of the Animal Nutrition Conference of Canada (ANCC). As in previous years, this event brought together feed industry professionals, government representatives, researchers, and students from across Canada and around the world to explore the latest developments in livestock nutrition.

We are thrilled to welcome you to the Westin Edmonton for the 10th anniversary of the Animal Nutrition Conference of Canada (ANCC)! Late registration is still available, with the option to register online or on site. This is an event you won’t want to miss! 

Companies attending the conference are invited to share current job openings on the ANCC job board, available onsite throughout the event. This is a simple way to increase visibility, promote career opportunities and connect directly with potential candidates during the conference.
