Matt Claeys, the CEO of the National Swine Registry, spoke to The Pig Site’s Sarah Mikesell at the 2023 World Pork Exposition in Des Moines, Iowa, USA.
Who is the National Swine Registry?
“National Swine Registry wears a number of hats,” said Matt Claeys, CEO of National Swine Registry. “We are the pedigree association for the Duroc, Hampshire, Yorkshire and Landrace hogs.”
National Swine Registry has an open membership of breeders that provide purebred genetics and crossbred genetics, a purebred-influenced crossbred type of hogs.
“We have the show operation in the junior program,” he said. “The purebred hogs are really a large part of that program. We've got the purebred shows for open and junior participants.”
