The large number of data collected permits to accelerate the genetic progress around 20% per year.
Last year, several comparing tests between Pietrain by NUCLEUS and other Pietrain terminal boars took place in Netherlands and in Spain. Results confirm the high genetic potential of the Pietrain by NUCLEUS
