States that have a university Extension swine specialists with a PhD in swine reproductive physiology* * As of: June 4, IL – Knox IN – Stewart PA – Hagan VA – Estienne **

In summary, universities have significant gaps in providing help to pork producers who want assistance in solving reproductive problems. Number of states without an Animal Science Extension Swine Specialists: 32 Total number of breeding animals in states without an Animal Science Extension Swine Specialists: 622,600 Total number of breeding animals in states without an academically trained (PhD) Extension Swine Reproductive Physiologists: – 4,813,000 – 84.6% of breeding animals 7
