It is our pleasure to introduce the 2018 National Swine Registry Hog College entries that will be featured at this year’s National Barrow Show® in Austin, Minnesota. Throughout the history of Hog College Row, some of the purebred swine industry’s most influential animals have been featured as elite representatives of their respective breeds.  The following boars and gilts will be displayed on Hog College Row and will also compete in the annual Home Run Drive in Crane Pavilion on Monday evening, where a “chairman’s choice” and “college choice” will be crowned.

We are excited to showcase these featured individuals and would like to thank the breeders behind these animals for allowing us to select them for representation of their breeds. We would also like to thank all the breeders who nominated animals for consideration toward this year’s Hog College Row. For additional [ … ]

Counting on America’s Best Genetics

By Jessica Harsh | Published June 9, 2015

We came up with the top producing boars, since the foundation of NSR and the hot, new boars hitting the breeding arena now, to share with you the most popular boars to date.

Pedigree Portal: Meeting the Deadline

By NSR | Published January 28, 2013

Many shows have registration and ownership deadlines to be aware of. 

Some shows also have a deadline for when all pigs have to be recorded. The registration date that appears on the pedigree will be the date we received the work. For those mailing litter applications, be sure to allow time for delivery as the registration date is the date the information is processedin the office, not the date you postmarked the envelope. We do not back date registrations, so please check the rules of the show and record your litters ahead of time.  Online litters are downloaded daily, so if you record your litters through the NSR website on a given evening, the date shown on your registration papers will be the next day when they were downloaded into our system. For example, if you have a December 1 registration deadline for a show, you will need to record [ … ]

Pedigree Portal: NSR Sire Requirements

By NSR | Published November 12, 2012

When recording your pigs, please keep in mind the National Swine Registry has requirements for all purebred sires. These standards help maintain the integrity of the breeds and ensure that proper DNA specifications have been met on sires.

If you artificially inseminated your sow with purchased semen, you will need to contact the boar stud where you obtained the semen and request an AI certificate before recording your litter. To submit the request, the stud will need to have your 2-4 letter Herdmark. If you have not been set up with a Herdmark yet, please contact the National Swine Registry. Once you request this, the boar stud will issue your AI certificate directly to the NSR. When you turn in the litter registration application, NSR will use your Herdmark to match the AI certificate with the litter. 

When requesting an AI certificate, please remember to ask the boar stud for the sire’s registration number and ear notch. [ … ]

Pedigree Portal: Easy Ways to Record Your Purebreds

By NSR | Published September 19, 2012

As a service to its members, NSR offers a couple of simple ways you can record your litters:  

1) Submitting a litter application by mail or fax

2) Recording the litter online

The National Swine Registry allows you to record your litters by mailing in a litter application that you can obtain by clicking on the Registration Application and Sow Productivity Data Form here. 

Another very simple way to record your litter is submitting the information online. This method is quicker than having to wait for us to receive your litters through the mail and is very easy. You can enter your litter via our website.

If you haven’t already set up a user name and password, you can obtain one by calling the NSR office at 765-463-3594. Once you’ve recorded your litters, you should receive a confirmation e-mail within one business day letting you know we received your litters.

Pedigree Portal: Breed Characteristics of NSR Breeds

By NSR | Published August 15, 2012

We are often asked about breed qualifications of the 4 breeds of the National Swine Registry. Below is a summary of breed requirements and markings. 
DurocsDurocs should be red with down ears. If a Duroc has white on any part of its body, including its feet, it may be disqualified. It is okay for Durocs to have white on the end of their nose, as long as it doesn’t break the rim of the nose. They are not allowed to have more than 3 black spots and none over 2 inches in diameter on the body. 

HampshiresHampshires should be black with a white belt that goes completely around both front legs and feet. They are allowed to have some white on their nose, as long as it doesn’t exceed the rim of the nose. If the white goes under the pig’s chin, it cannot be more than what a U.S. minted quarter [ … ]
