History

Hog & Poultry Days began in the early 1970s in response to the needs of pork producers. The goal of the show - known then as Hog Days - was to help producers increase their knowledge and develop the up-to-date production techniques.

The venue - which featured the latest information on health, husbandry, feed and technology - went a long way in helping to create a high quality product and spurred the growth of Manitoba's pork industry.

In the late 1980s, poultry was included since much of the equipment, feed industry, and health support industry that serviced pork production was also involved in poultry production.

Now Hog & Poultry Days is held in Winnipeg every second year. On alternate years, Hog Days - its sister show - is held in Brandon.
