Production Director
Hi! I’m Jesse Wedow, the Production Director at Bio Agri Mix.
I joined the BAM team in March 2015 after completing a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, with a Statistics minor, at the University of Guelph. I began my career at BAM in the Quality Assurance Department where I gained a wealth of knowledge and understanding of Good Manufacturing Practices and how it is applicable to our processes at BAM.
In May 2019, I transitioned into my current position, where I now oversee the Production and Maintenance Departments. My experience in Quality Assurance has given me the experience required to ensure that compliance is at the forefront of our operations.
We have a dedicated team of people in Production who work extremely hard to produce the highest quality feed additives for our customers. There are a number of in-process checks that are performed during the manufacture and packaging of each product to ensure the consistency and quality of the products meet or exceed the required specifications.
We have our own in-house Maintenance Department who complete extensive Preventive Maintenance checks and repairs on our equipment and throughout our four facilities. This Department is also key in helping to develop new processes and sourcing the equipment that comes along with that.
The next phase at BAM is a very exciting one as we enter the beginning stages of building a new facility. This facility will be a key component in allowing us to expand our portfolio in Canada and the United States. It is incredibly rewarding to be part of the BAM team as we enter this stage of growth and development. Here’s to another 40 years of BAM’s success!

We believe that by providing the right products and the right information, we can help our customers, vendors, consumers and the Canadian government make informed decisions about policies and practices in our rapidly changing industry.
Our industry is changing and we’re changing with it.
There are three key issues on the horizon that will transform the way we do business.
- Veterinarians will have increased responsibilities with ensuring prudent antimicrobial use in the future.
- Human Safety: Bio Agri Mix is leading the way in producing products that reduce risk to material handlers.
- Antimicrobial Resistance: We take our industry leadership role with respect to prudent antimicrobial use seriously. We support voluntarily eliminating antimicrobials for growth promotion, and we are investing in research that demonstrates the therapeutic efficacy of our products.
To stay ahead of our complex and changing industry, we have done extensive research and produced technical documents around these key issues.
