The PIC408 is the most widely used German type Pietrain in Europe, it has not stopped evolving for more than 20 years and now incorporates a new technology that will make it even more competitive. After the introduction of semen quality within the PIC genetic program, the PIC408s have stood out for their high production of high-quality semen, appreciated in commercial boar studs (or GTC, genetic transfer centers). After the introduction of Fertiboar technology, its seminal quality is supported by a complex algorithm resulting from the combination of ultrasound measurements and artificial intelligence, increasing its efficiency and ensuring optimal and predictable semen quality.
The choice of the GTC of Riufred, with the largest census in Europe, is determined by PIC's commitment to large populations of boars with a high genetic index. Thanks to the large Riufred census, national producers will be able to reliably and predictably access the ProfitPlus and ProfitMax bands of the PIC408, thus being able to access greater competitiveness within the sector.
The PIC408 stands out for the robustness, homogeneity and vitality of its progeny that makes it a leader in the markets oriented to the production of lean meat. By using the ProfitPlus and ProfitMax bands, you will be able to continuously access the highest index boars, maximizing the opportunities provided by accelerated genetic progress.
