Research is at the heart of the National Pork Board’s mission and is funded by your Pork Checkoff dollars. Research is administered in all areas of pork production, processing, and human nutrition to develop a higher quality and more profitable product in the competitive meat protein market.

The results from this study indicate that supplement withdrawal and dietary wheat middling inclusion alter pork nutrient content and fecal mineral concentration, but not the oxidative stability of pork.
This project was designed to determine the current nitrite and nitrate content in foods other than processed meats.
This study was used to develop a Hispanic version of the USDA Thrifty Food Plan 2021 (H-TFP 2021) that was more closely linked to the observed eating patterns of that population.
This study was conducted to explore the distributions of class A water-based foam and high-expansion nitrogen foam within the respiratory tract of pigs using computed tomography (CT), which is a real-time imaging technology. Through this, the goal was to further describe how foam-based swine depopulation methods, specifically water-based foam and high-expansion nitrogen foam, work in depopulated pigs.
The objective of this study was to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of LNs from several regions and seasons in the United States to establish a Salmonella prevalence and concentration baseline.
The objective of this experiment was to mitigate the adverse effects of early life transport stress on subsequent immune challenges by providing supplemental Tryptophan (Trp) during the nursery period.
The present goal was to examine the sustainability of pork meat protein with reference to nutrition, affordability, environmental impact, and future food demand.
The study highlights the versatile flavor nuances and textures of pork and demonstrate the possibilities of the various traditional and untraditional cuts and the effect of various preparation methods on flavor and texture.
In this study we aimed to identify proteins in ASFV using serum containing antibodies from animals with live-attenuated vaccinated animals, that could be used as targets for a serological assay to differentiate between vaccinated and infected animals, these identified proteins were attempted to be deleted from a field isolate of highly pathogenic ASFV, to determine if they could be deleted.
Provide participants with a high-quality and safe program, including observational situations to view trailers and methodology.
The purpose of this literature review was to identify the pathways by which feral swine might transmit ASFV to domestic pigs in the US.
