Greatest potential economic return
The PIC® 337 is a terminal sireline selected for feed efficient growth, reducing days to slaughter while delivering maximum carcass value in high quality pork, making it the ideal sireline for production of heavy slaughter weight pigs.
Scale– Investment in increasing the size of the Genetic Nucleus base populations will increase further selection intensity producing elite GGP boars of high index for AI Stations globally. More than 250,000 pigs are tested each year in the Genetic Nucleus and GN Crossbred programmes.
Genomic tools– PIC has taken advantage of the latest advances in genomic technology to accelerate dramatically traditional rates of genetic improvement (>100,000 pigs genotyped per year).
Investment in new genetic tools such as Relationship Based Genomic Selection (RBGS) has delivered a 35% boost over traditional rates of genetic improvement, results never before seen in the industry, a pig produced in the last year creates £3.00 more value for the producer than a pig produced the year before.
Focus of selection– PIC’s selection programme combines science and economics for maximum profit potential by focusing the indexes on three major areas:
• Robustness and survivability from birth to slaughter.
• Lean efficiency. • Carcass value.
