🕵♀️ Can you feel her ribs but not see them?

That’s the sweet spot.
📌 When to score: – At weaning – 30 days post-mating – Before farrowing
🌟 What to aim for: – At 30 days pregnant, at least 85% of your sows should be in optimal condition. – Too thin = lower feed intake in lactation, poor piglet growth – Too heavy = increased risk of farrowing problems and poor rebreeding

Regular checks = healthier sows, smoother farrowings, and faster rebreeding. It’s a small habit that pays big.

Breeding the sow of the future starts today. How?

➡ With Maternal GNX. ⬅

Our Maternal GNX program captures phenotypic and genomic data on thousands of crossbred daughters raised in commercial settings. With over 150,000 records collected per year, this real-world production data is used to strengthen our selection index, resulting in accelerated genetic progress. 📊 🐖

That’s just one way we’re advancing sow longevity. Discover others: https://bit.ly/456sBeN

🔬 Robustness isn’t luck—it’s a formula: Genetics + Environment + Management = Longevity & Performance
PIC is rewriting the rules with:
✅ Reproductive Success – fewer involuntary culls
✅ Digital Structure – AI-powered leg scoring for better retention
✅ POP Reduction – first-ever genetic prediction for prolapse risk
These aren’t just traits—they’re tools to build sows that stay longer, perform better, and raise stronger litters

📈 The result? More productive herds, less turnover, and a smarter path to profitability.
The Evolving Sow Robustness EquationPIC’s new genetic traits, paired with improved sow body condition management recommendations, drive robustness progress and sow longevity.  Justin Holl,...
