Crossbred Certification Program
During the National Swine Registry Executive Committee Meeting in March 2019, two innovative and exciting services were proposed and approved.
Effective July 1, 2019,
the NSR will offer crossbred boar DNA banking and crossbred litter recording services to its members. These services will be completely voluntary and are an opportunity to provide NSR members with increasingly high demand resources. Additionally, these services are an integral part of the NSR’s Long Range Strategic Plan. For more information on these services, click
