From 2011 to 2016, both the number of cow-calf producers and farm operations in Canada decreased by 12.4%. Furthermore, the current demographics portend a similar or greater loss in the number of producers and farms by the next census (2021). This level of consolidation has implications with respect to veterinary education and how practitioners will service the cow-calf sector.
从2011年到2016年,加拿大的肉牛繁育生产者数量和农场经营数量均下降了12.4%。此外,当前的人口统计数据预示,到下一次人口普查(2021年)时,生产者和农场数量将出现类似幅度的减少或更大幅度的损失。这种整合程度对兽医教育以及从业者为肉牛繁育行业提供服务的方式都有影响。
