ABI research swine are raised in a large, modern complex with isolated breeding and growing areas in Doylestown, PA. All Yorkshire crossbred pigs are managed by professional porcine specialists and veterinarians to maintain the highest standards of health and genetics.

All growing areas are state-of-the-art, climate controlled buildings.
Growing pigs receive special diets formulated on the farm for each age and weight group according to the NRC (National Research Council) (1983) recommendations

Our Healthy Breeding and Research Swine Herds

The ABI breeding herd has been monitored annually for brucellosis and pseudorabies, and has tested negative since 1994.
The herd also tests negative for Salmonella Species.
All production herd animals are vaccinated for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), Circovirus and Swine Influenza Virus (SIV).
The breeding herd is wormed with Ivomec and vaccinated for Leptospirosis, Erysipelas and PRRS prior to breeding.
Young research swine receive iron at three days of age. They are vaccinated for Rhinitis, Mycoplasma and Hemophilus Pneumonia, and are wormed with Fenbendazole at weaning.
The pigs continue to receive Fenbendazole every four weeks until they grow out of the sales inventory weight range, which prevents internal parasite infestation and larval migration.
The ABI research swine herd has tested negative for Malignant Hyperthermia (MH). All genetics introduced into the herd are free of the MH (Stress) gene.
ABI has high-quality Yorkshire Crossbred research pigs available at all ages, sexes and weights, all year-round.

Porcine Tissue Shipping to San Francisco Bay Area Research Labs

All Animal Biotech Industries, Inc., post mortem pig tissues are harvested fresh according to San Francisco Bay Area client specifications. Once gathered, the tissue is immediately chilled at 35-37 degrees Fahrenheit. ABI maintains this temperature throughout the tissue processing, packaging and shipping procedures until they reach the client facility.

All transportation of ABI’s post mortem tissues is done via FedEx from Bucks County, PA.
Clients are included in the inner tracking circle with FedEx so all parties stay informed of the status of the packages while in transit until clients receive them.
We closely monitor client packages to be sure they are not held up during the delivery process.
