Foreign guests visit America's Best Genetics booth at the World Pork Expo

Foreign guests at the World Pork Expo here in Des Moines, Iowa, are greeted with American hospitality at the International Hospitality Center, hosted by America’s Best Genetics in partnership with the National Pork Producers Council.

Approximately 20 members and partners of America’s Best Genetics are exhibiting jointly in the open educational and networking area, which offers cold water and soda as well as meeting spaces and a place for visitors to relax and visit about swine genetics. America’s Best Genetics works to extend the influence and exposure of the National Swine Registry and its commercial-oriented breeders as a strong and viable option for world-wide genetics.

NSR’s Director of Genetic and Technical Services, Clint Schwab, Ph.D., says the purpose of the booth is to create an area for international visitors to meet and visit with the top U.S. purebred swine breeders. “This is a great common area for our foreign visitors to relax and learn more about the genetic programs our members have, and what they can offer to international production systems.”

Pigs and kids have been filing into the swine barn all day in preparation for the 2010 World Pork Expo Junior Classic, here in Des Moines, Iowa. More than 1,700 pigs have been registered by approximately 650 members of the National Junior Swine Association and Team Purebred. The young exhibitors come from 26 states, as well as seven foreign countries, and will show barrows and gilts starting Wednesday, June 9.

Alan Duttlinger, director of junior activities for the National Swine Registry, says this is a record number of entries for the World Pork Expo Junior National. "Last year this show had a record number of entries, and this year we are 22 percent higher," says Duttlinger. "It's great to see the kids so excited, and ready to put their months of hard work and preparation on display."
