The British Pig Association

The British Pig Association is the official breed society and maintains the Herd Books for the following breeds: Berkshire, British Landrace, British Saddleback, Duroc, Gloucestershire Old Spots, Hampshire, Large Black, Large White, Middle White, Oxford Sandy & Black, Pietrain and Tamworth. The majority of our traditional native breeds have less than 500 sows, which puts them at risk of extinction. One of the most important tasks of the Association is to register the birth of all pedigree litters of pigs to maintain and hopefully increase the number of registered breeding pigs in each of these breeds.
