WHY CHOOSE THE BOAR : PIETRAIN BY NUCLEUS AS TERMINAL BOAR FOR YOUR FARM ?

Managing the performance of your pig farm is more and more difficult and restrictive. It’s important to choose a breed that guarantees both good performance and good quality. The last few years have seen the rise of the Piétrain terminal boar, which is considered the benchmark in the field. What are the advantages of this pig breed with Belgium origin ?

The boar Pietrain by Nucleus : unparalleled carcass performances

Carcass quality is one of the main performance indicators for intensive rearing: the aim is to produce a maximum of kg of carcass per sow per year. 

The Pietrain is a pig breed that has the undeniable advantage of giving an impressive musculature with very little fat. The fact is that its carcass yield is the best on the market and is much higher than that of the crossed boars.

Optimal feed efficiency for your farm

As for overall food efficiency, the Pietrain also stands out. This pig breed has the advantage of gaining weight quickly and this despite its low appetite : it consumes less while it allows you to benefit from a strong growth potential. To be at 100 kg in 128 days : here’s a particularly economical choice !
