Q

Performance Basis

A

1.Select boars that posses a good muscle development in the ham, loin, and shoulder. Avoid excessive backfat. Backfat thickness should not exceed 2cm in 90kg LW.
2. Select boars that show an ADG of not less than 800g (28-90kg LW) and a feed conversion efficiency of not more than 2.5. Boars should be atleast 90kg and not more than 160 days of age during selection
