Pork is the meat of pigs, and the production of pork has seen many changes over the years with the most dramatic of these changes occurring within the last few decades. At one point in time, many small family farms each raised relatively few pigs. Now, large farms, though fewer in number, each raise large numbers of pigs. Swine are useful as meat animals, research animals, entertainers, and pets. Tere are not many other animals that can claim so many occupations. Some people think pigs are dirty and ignorant. In fact, pigs wallow in mud to stay cool because they don’t have the ability to sweat, and they are as intelligent as dogs.

INTRODUCTION The pork industry is an important segment of the agribusiness sector. The industry has experienced significant changes in (1) the size and scale of hog production units, (2) the type of hog produced, and (3) the structure and organization of the swine breeding stock supply industry. Most commercial hog producers select replacement female breeding stock from their own herds, but buy boars each year from specialized breeding stock suppliers to provide new, improved genetic material for their herds. Typically, the primary sources of purchased breeding stock have been (a) local commercial producers and purebred breeders if females were needed, and (b) purebred swine breeders for boars. A typical operation used a three breed rotation program and involved use of a different breed each year (e.g., Hampshire-Yorkshire-Duroc).
