The Prairie Swine Centre Inc.

PSCI is a non-profit corporation affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan and engaged in research, technology transfer and graduate education, all directed at economic efficiency and sustainability of pork production. The Centre offers excellent animal facilities, including a 280 sow farrow-to-finish unit for intensive research and a 600-sow commercial barn for larger scale studies, combined with modern office facilities. More than a quarter of a billion dollars in new building construction was completed in June of 2008.
