Britain's leading pig breeding company, JSR Genetics, welcomed delegates from around the world to a two day World Partners Conference in Yorkshire. Delegates from ten countries including Japan, South Korea and The Netherlands came together as part of JSR's growing franchise business, which now operates in over 20 countries.

Under the theme "Making Pork more Profitable" delegates undertook a wide range of activities including updates on JSR's extensive portfolio of research projects. Led by a team of world- renowned academics, they also took part in workshops on prolificacy, growth, disease resistance and meat eating quality.

Dr. Tsunetoyo Ban from Japan commented, "We have a sophisticated pork industry in Japan but, like everyone here, we are seeking ways to better meet market opportunities for quality pork and how we can produce this pork more efficiently. This group represents an immense amount of knowledge and allows us to talk as one business, sharing our experience and isolating the key factors that will make a difference to our futures".

Tim Rymer, JSR's Chairman who, together with the delegates, enjoyed an 'international' banquet in the grounds of Southburn House, saw this first World Partners Conference as an opportunity to bring the global pork industry together.

"We have seen our franchise businesses grow rapidly over the last three years and this conference provided an ideal environment in which to unite everyone. Our strategy continues to build upon our strong UK business with discussions taking place in a number of Eastern European and South American countries. We intend to help our partners grow their businesses so that they will have a greater presence at the next World Partners Conference in 2009".

These topics are all very important for companies, but in China, we think more. Making pork more profitable is the first place, and we have considered the cost of enviroment, public health, and pig breed diversity, and more and more diseases. Pig person in China begins to balance the pork profit, the cook quality, the eating quality, and enviroment quality. Dr. Q. S Chen, Chia Tai Group, CN.
