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 [ … ]
In my last Industry Insightspost, we talked about the “Crate Debate.” This is just one of a handful of animal welfare debates facing our industry, and recent research from Purdue University yielded some “red flag” results for pork producers. Dr. Nicole Olynk Widmar (Agricultural Economics), Dr. Candace Croney (Animal Science) and Melissa McKendree (Agricultural Economics) conducted a survey of U.S. consumers related to perceptions of livestock – specifically pork – production. What they found may come as a shock.
Of the 798 survey participants, nearly one-third had never been to a farm that raised animals for the food system, and only 31 percent had visited such a farm within the last five years – which is representative of the nearly 98 percent of Americans who are not directly involved in agricultural production.These researchers also looked at the consumers’ sources of information regarding animal welfare issues. This chart breaks down the [ … ]
DNA Sire Requirements
All Purebred litters recorded with NSR since July 2004 are required to be sired by a boar that is negative of the Stress Gene. If you have a boar that you are using to breed sows within your herd, a Stress Gene test must have been completed prior to recording litters.
To fulfill these requirements, you can order a DNA card from the National Swine Registry for $4. Once you receive the DNA card, you will notice there are 4 circles on the DNA card. Please get DNA in all 4 circles. The most preferred form of DNA is blood, because it lasts longer on the DNA card and is much easier for the lab to read. Another acceptable form of DNA is semen. If you choose to submit semen as DNA, you must use raw semen that does not have any extender in it. Once you [ … ]
