Midwest Research Swines’ herds exceed standards set by the National SPF Swine Accrediting Agency. Animals pass USDA inspection. Each herd is clinically free and serologically negative to numerous porcine pathogens. Animals are USDA validated brucellosis free and qualified pseudorabies negative.

Animals used for processing have been validated free of BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathies) and enter a porcine only abattoir.
