The table egg industry had always relied on a 12-month egg-laying cycle. Since the layer performances are constantly raising the expected production standards year after year, the industry is wondering if the laying cycle should be lengthened to 13, 14 or even 15 months. What would be the economic impacts to be anticipated with this change, but, most importantly, what will be the picture of the table egg production, once it’s done.

Son of a farm producer in Portneuf and raised on dairy and swine farm, Stéphane Grondines graduated from Laval University in 1992 with a bachelor's degree in Animal Science.
In addition to the swine and dairy industries, his first job as Sales Advisor for Alfred Couture introduced him to the poultry industry. After almost 14 years in the Couture's family, Stéphane accepted a new challenge with Les Consultants Denis Champagne, where he worked for 3 years as a consulting agronomist for swine and dairy farmers.
He always liked the poultry industry, and he got an opportunity in 2009 to become Poultry Sales Director at Agri-Marché inc., a business offering poultry feed services, from the Maritimes to Eastern Ontario.
After 10 years working for the Brochu Family, Stéphane worked shortly for Farm Credit Canada in 2019, then came back with the team from Consultants Denis Champagne in October 2020, before starting his own poultry industry consulting business under the name Services Avicoles Grondines & associés inc. in 2023.
He is beginning his 33rd year working in agriculture, and aims to help grow the businesses using his services on an economic level. He helps farmers in their decision-making process with tools well adapted to the poultry industry, like the calculation of their cost of production, also called cost price.
