One year ago, in the news of the 12 of January 2015, we showed the first results of feed efficiency of Pietrain boars controlled with feeding station control situated directly on the selection farm.

One year later, these first results are confirmed and even improved.

With an average feed efficiency of 2,17 during the period 30kg - 115 kg, the NUCLEUS Pietrain Boar is a guarantee to improve your global efficiency and thus your production cost!

NUCLEUS started in 2015 to measure the intra-muscular fat content in its entire pure breed Duroc population, gilts and boars.

This measure is done at the same time that on farm testing, it means at five months old. Thus, in Duroc criteria measured on farm are now:

Weight

Muscle depth

Backfat thickness

Intra-muscular fat on loin

This measure of intra-muscular fat on live animal enables NUCLEUS to identify and to select for specific markets breeders having the highest intra-muscular fat content.

NUCLEUS : to meet your request.

During last term of 2015, NUCLEUS exported 1000 breeding pigs for a selection farm of the Company Henan Cooperl Xinda Pig breeding situated in the Henan. This company is a joined venture between Henan Xinda Muye  and Cooperl.

Cooperl, is the biggest French pig Cooperative, producing, slaughtering and meat processing over 6 millions slaughter pigs per year. Highly appreciated for its genetic potential and its high sanitary status, this exportation of Nucleus breeding pigs (the 2^nd for the year 2015) increases the presence of NUCLEUS Genetic in China.

NUCLEUS company has successfully exported 1000 purebred animals (Large White, Landrace, Pietrain and Duroc) to China. The animals arrived at the Zhengzhou airport on Wednesday, October 28th. Then, they were transferred to the Cooperl-Xinda Breeding Farm, which is under air filtration. It is a new step for NUCLEUS Genetic in China...

Meet us there.

For more than one year, NUCLEUS has settled equipements of food control in a selection farm of Pietrain. This stations control the Average Daily Weight Gain (ADG) and the Feed Conversion Rate (FCR).

Recently NUCLEUS has installed those equipments in one more GGP Herd of Pietrain.

Performances of boars tested and entered in AI Center from this farm are simply wonderful.

In average, age at 100 kg is less than 131 days, it means 4 month and 11 days.

Their Feed Conversion Rate during the period of fattening is less than 2.25
