We have often said that Suidae Health & Production is a direct reflection of our client producers. If you needed it, we prided ourselves on finding a way to provide it. Our mantra became “if it goes in or on a pig, and our producers need it, we’ll figure it out.” From humble beginnings 25 years ago, our commitment to your success continues to serve us well. And, we certainly hope it continues to serve you well.
A lot of things can change over a quarter century. We have continued to add passionate, creative, and dedicated team members. We have built two clinics and purchased three others. Over 25 years, Suidae Health & Production has evolved from a small start-up company in a drafty office to a dedicated team of ten swine specific veterinarians, production management team, research team, accounting staff, laboratory services staff, customer service staff, and a production records group together with a full cadre of service supporting team members. One thing that hasn’t changed, even a little, is our commitment to you! Suidae has always envisioned itself as a service company. Our business thrives by being dedicated to your success.
We all recognize that production agriculture isn’t always easy. The nature of the hog cycle means that there are peaks and valleys and we’ve just come through a pretty deep valley. It’s been said before that tough times don’t last but tough people do. No one exemplifies this more so than pork producers. An inspired, purposeful, long-term vision of the future is a prerequisite for multigenerational success. The world’s population continues to expand. Norman Borlaug once espoused that “food is the moral right to all who are born into this world.” When we look toward the future there are some things that remain unchallenged. Agriculture will always serve as the bedrock upon which the world grows. And agricultural production businesses will continue to serve as the bedrock upon which good communities grow.
The In our next quarter century, our commitment to your success will remain. We will be there to help you assess emerging technology and new tools. We will continue to help you protect your businesses, and your animals, from health and productivity challenges. We remain committed to supporting your vision of developing and managing profitable, sustainable, productive, efficient, and fulfilling operations. In short, and as always, we remain committed to the success of independent pork producers.
