The same improvement program that has
been driving our sire performance has also
been at work on our dam lines.

The result: This is not your father’s

Camborough.
 The PIC Full Program Advantage:
PIＣ Males & Females produce higher net margins through faster growth rates, better feed
conversions, superior carcass traits, and more pounds of quality pork.

 What has changed?

New Technology
New Production Infrastructure
Renewed Focus on Lifetime Productivity
 New Technology

•  Before early 1990’s computing technology

costs restricted selection in pigs to traits of
the growing pig and its carcass.
–  Moderate to highly heritable traits
–  Directly measurable on the candidates
–  Emphasis on Growth Rate, Feed Efficiency
and Lean%
–  Achievable in single GN herds
 New Technology

•  Since early 1990’s cheap computer

memory and more powerful processors
made large databases and BLUP everyday
tools for pig breeders:
–  Low heritable traits could be improved
–  Family performance for female reproductive
performance
–  Data available from many herds outside
Genetic Nucleus
BLUP (Best Linear Unbiased Predictor)
 New Technology

Markers improve accuracy with the greatest benefit on lowly heritable traits

Today, 78
markers are used
to improve the
accuracies of trait
EBVs used in
selection
indexes, with
more in the
evaluation
pipeline.
