John () Webb, currently director of genetics with the Cotswold Pig Development Company and responsible for the company's commercial genetic improvement program that includes over 4,000 sows, has an extensive background in genetic research and experience in genetic improvement programs. Webb's research has won him both national and international recognition. Between 1973 and 1986 his research work included the inheritance of halothane sensitivity, evaluation of foreign breeds, leg weakness, the genetics of lean growth and performance testing systems. He was also involved in arrangements to import Chinese Meishan pigs into the United Kingdom. He has maintained a strong research interest in the genetics of eating quality, growth promoters and the Meishan pig. DR. JOHN WEBB "His presentations at the seminar on selecting for lean growth and selecting for improved reproductive performance will be extremely informative," says Fred Schuld, head of Alberta Agriculture's pork industry branch.
