PIC Boar 327
For optimal lean production
The 327 is an Alterminal sirefocused on maximum lean production at least cost.
This PIC sire has more than 20 years' reputation in the US market andhas been introduced to the UK to exploit its strengths of:
- Excellent growth rate and feed efficiency
- Low backfat levels and high lean content
- High heterosis for robust progeny
- High feed intakes
PIC Boar 337
For increased lean growth rate
The latest in a long line of proven performers, the PIC 337 is an Alterminal sirefocused on greater profitability through increased lean growth rate.
The 337 is selected from a nucleus programme taking pigs to 125kgs, making it ideal for the UK market where a heavier lean carcass is now in demand..
This focus on growth makes the PIC 337 ideal for:
- Maximising weight gain over a fixed finishing period
- Achieving heavier carcass weight with the same throughput
- Greater throughput by achieving market in a shorter time
- Increased finishing pig uniformity
- Low backfat
PIC Camborough 23
Maximising lean meat production per sow per year
The Camborough 23 has all the qualities a producer needs:
- Consistently high prolificacy
- Exceptional mothering ability
- Docile temperament
- Excellent appetite
- Versatility
- Long working life
Consistent with PIC's worldwide reputation for continually improving genetic value, the Camborough 23 has the genetic potential to increase the number of pigs and kilos of quality pigmeat per sow per year.

PIC Artificial Insemination
Maximising the AI potential of your herd.
Herd fertility is critical to the success of any breeding pig enterprise. Artificial Insemination (AI) has now started to dominate the reproductive process on many farms in the UK. Amongst other things, it brings superior sire line genetics onto the unit and across many females, which could not normally be acheived cost-effectively by natural natings. If operated correctly, it shoud also guarantee that each mating is carried out using viable sperm, something which cannot be guaranteed practically with a boar.
PIC UK can provide you with expertise and knowledge in a wide range of areas including,
- AI Critical factors for Success - booklet available (see contact details to request)
- Management of gilts and sows to optimize reproductive performance
- Breeding and rearing own herd replacements
