approved by 8:00 a.m. on the show day by the superintendent. Registration papers
must have been transferred to or registered in the name of the exhibitor (only

animals to determine compliance with ABA negative stress gene policy, parentage, and
breed purity.
c. NSR and NJSA reserve the right to randomly collect a DNA profile on exhibited animals for
stress gene, parentage identification, and breed purity at any event where registered animals
are exhibited. This collection will be supervised by NSR and NJSA representatives. The
collection of samples from Chester Whites, Hereford, Poland China, Spotted, and Berkshire
market hogs will be supervised by Team Purebred, CPS, or ABA representatives.
d. All breed champions, reserve champions, and/or any randomly selected market hogs may be
blood tested for presence of the stress gene, parentage verification, and breed purity as DNA
technology becomes available.
e. Champion and reserve champion overall premiums as well as breed champion and reserve
breed champion premiums will not be awarded until the DNA results are verified at the NSR
office.
f. Any market hogs that fail these DNA tests for the stress gene, parentage verification, or breed
purity will be asked to forfeit all show premiums and awards. If premiums and awards are not
returned to NSR, the exhibitor will not be allowed to compete in future NJSA or NSR events.
g. Market hogs must meet all registration eligibility requirements of their respective breed
associations. NSR field staff or a qualified NSR representative will inspect all market hogs for
breed eligibility.

on the weight card. All declared weights must be within the range of 230 to 290
