Today, the PIC Camborough® has an increased genetic potential for growth rate, lean gain, and wean pig production. PIC’s updated body condition caliper ranges promote more accurate body condition scoring and corresponding feeding recommendations specifically to match the PIC female’s genetic potential.
Incorrect body condition scoring will rob genetic potential. The only way to get an accurate score is to find and place the caliper on the last rib.
This video will show you how to locate the last rib with ease.
Accurate body condition scoring is one of PIC’s four pillars focused on sow robustness. Robustness starts with genetics and is elevated through sound management in female development, body condition and feeding, and individual sow care. As part of the full solution, PIC has a hands-on technical support team that can provide insights on maximizing a PIC animal’s longevity.
