Genetic comparisons between stud pig herds call for total procedural and judicial responsibility as wrong decisions may have serious genetic and economic implications for individual studs and the industry as a whole. The PBS therefore has a responsibility to serve the best interests of the pig farmers of South Africa by carrying out its above objectives.
