NUCLEUS is present EUROTIER 

Hall 15 - Booth E10

Come to vist us at our Booth !

The Pietrain by NUCLEUS has a 35% market share in France. Not only used in France but also in many countries, Spanish companies are using it for more than 15 years. Based on field results in Spain, the Pietrain by NUCLEUS shows an advanced economic performance compared to other Pietrain (better feed conversion ratio...). The Spanish swine magazine AVANCES dedicated an article to the phenomenon Pietrain by NUCLEUS.

NUCLEUS is present in China since the late 90s. In 1999 the Xinda Company (Henan) imported GGP from NUCLEUS Company, France (Lagre White and Landrace). Xinda has developed its selection and multiplication pyramid from these imported pigs. From 2016, Xinda regularly buys some GGP animals from COOPERL - NUCLEUS - Henan GGP farm. And in 2017 Xinda decided to import again 600 animals from Top GGP farms of NUCLEUS in France. Animals safely arrived in Zhenghzou airport, last 26^th of October.

Last 4th of October, NUCLEUS participated in the VIIth Edition of the International Conference on Porcine Reproduction organized by Humeco in Huesca Spain. NUCLEUS presented its last results concerning prediction of boar taint on live animals.

NUCLEUS successfully exported more than GGP 900 pigs to China by the end of July 2017. After selection of the animals of the 4 breeds LW, LR, Duroc and Pietrain in the SPF NUCLEUS GGP farms, selected animals have successfully passed the 30 days quarantine period in France. Once arrived in Guangxi province, SPF GGP NUCLEUS Pigs also passed the quarantine successfully. NUCLEUS partner has now all the genetic keys for breeding pigs successfully.

Small revolution this year. After many years at the same place at SPACE, NUCLEUS changes its place :

Come to see us on our booth :

HALL 8 Booth B42 

NUCLEUS team will present its latest innovations in female and male lines (Genomic selection, New evaluations, INO boars)

60 boars Large White boars are present in artificial insemination centre in France. These boars are used for the renewing of pure breed GGP Large White sows of selection farms but also and mainly for the production of F1 sows by insemination of Landrace GP sows on multiplication farms.

The table below details the average performances of the mothers of these 60 boars present in French AIC on the novembre 2016.

Performances of the mothers of these 60 boars are simply exceptional.

Within these 60 boars, mothers of boars born in 2016 and entered in AIC have even ehanced performances 

Genetic progress : the proof by figures.

NUCLEUS has developed with IFIP and INRA a genomic program in Landrace. The main is to get a faster genetic progress already carried out (see new from 29/08/16) in Maternal Qualities and in particular in Number of Piglets Born Alive. Precision of breeding values will also increase thanks to this genomic program.

The first genotyped boars have entered in AIC during the 2^nd semester of 2016. Gilts for auto-renewing of selection farms are now also genotyped.

In February 2016, NUCLEUS has exported to Benin Large-White animals. The aim of this importation is multiplication and sales to production farms.

Benin has been really affected by African Swine Fever and has to renew its park of breeding animals.

This exportation was a successfull and after to pass a conformity control, animals are very well adapted in their new farm.
