PIC®380

“Harnessing the combined scale of global data collection of both pure and crossbred traits, generated in the crossbred data capture programme, the PIC®380 has an unrivalled depth of meaningful data collection and industry leading genomic information that will result in predictable performance at producer level.”

PIC believes that while fast and efficient growth is a new norm in the industry the additional combinations of a competitive carcase with excellent meat-eating quality, with significantly enhanced robustness and the ability to simply thrive in multiple environments, will differentiate this sire.

“We at PIC envisage that the addition of the PIC®380 will add to the industry leading sire line portfolio that PIC has proudly delivered to the Irish and UK industry for decades”, Mr Furniss added. “The ultimate aim of the new PIC®380 is to add financial sustainability to the whole of the pork chain and only underlines the commitment of PIC to the overall Pig Industry.”

The PIC-Hermitage Hybrid females are renowned for their prolificacy, longevity and mothering ability.The combination of maternal genes from our Landrace and Large White populations, enhanced by heterosis when crossed, ensure that the Hybrid females are among the most productive parent sows available in the market today.

In addition to optimum prolificacy, the Hybrid females also produce uniform slaughter pigs with maximum growth, lean potential and carcass quality.

Over the years PIC-Hermitage Genetics have been used in over 100 high health restocks in Ireland alone. In addition many new herds have been established and restocks carried out across the UK, Europe, Russia, Ukraine and the USA.
