swine genetics

The question isn't whether to use Genepacker sows but why would you use anything but.

"Genepacker females are heavy milkers. Our piglet size coming out of our farrowing house has been excellent, while maintaining consistency. I’m very impressed with the tremendous efficiency Genepacker females provide."
-Scott Taylor, Sow Production Manager, Prestage Farms

"We’ve been happy with Genepackers. They have a calm temperament and produce milk efficiently in the farrowing house, which allows us to wean heavier, faster growing pigs. The weaning weights produced by Genepackers are about 6% more than weaning weights at farms with other genetics.

The Genepacker’s calm temperament and ability to come into farrowing houses with a good level of back fat make them easy to manage and feed. The Genepacker’s ability to maintain good sow condition with less feed means we have excellent litter performance and a hardier female in a more profitable barn."
-Darcy Pauls, Production / Technical Manager, Puratone
