Membership

Working to significantly improve swine genetics

Members of NSIF include any individual or organization that is actively producing performance tested seedstock, conducting performance testing programs, marketing performance tested animals, or marketing semen from performance tested swine.

Founded in 1975, the National Swine Improvement Federation is now recognized nationally and internationally as one of the leading bodies in developing and applying scientifically-based programs for the genetic improvement of swine. Our mission is to advance and stimulate individual and collaborative efforts of swine breeding stock suppliers, academic personnel, and pork industry affiliates in the research, development, and utilization of scientifically-based genetic improvement programs and associated practices for the economically efficient production of high quality, nutritious pork.

Annual Conference

Membership allows companies and individuals to be involved with NSIF. The yearly conference is where you have the greatest opportunity to network with colleagues in swine genetic improvement.

Swine Genetics Publications

Members have access to the most recent published research relating to swine genetics.

Ultrasonic Certification

The Federation has implemented programs to standardize ultrasonic measurement. NSIF certifies participants who meet the qualifications set forth by the program.

The NSIF annual meeting is a great place for leaders in swine genetics and allied industry to come together and share among themselves to improve the swine industry as a whole.
