PICboar 337G
The Industry's Leading Growth Rate Boar
The PIC 337G is New Zealand's best selling Liquid Gene and natural serve product (PICboar 335). This boar has excellent growth rate and feed conversion ratios that can take market pigs to heavier weights in fewer days, while decreasing the cost of gain. The 337G produces high yield carcasses with an emphasis on meat quality.
This focus on growth makes the PIC 337G ideal for:
- Maximizing weight gain in a fixed time
- Going to heavier market weights with same facility space
- Faster facility turnover by reaching market weight in a shorter time
The PIC 337G uses a range of PICmarq DNA markers in conjunction with each boar's own and relatives' off test performance data to increase the accuracy with which PIC selects the best boars based upon EBV (estimated breeding value) for days to market, average daily feed intake, backfat and loin depth.
