ACMC tests "on farm" thousands of sire line boars each year, measuring individual feed intake, speed of growth and both muscle and fat depths to ensure that the most advanced product is available to our customers.
ACMC's applied scientific development through quantitative genetics using phenotypic test data and gene marker selection has produced an advanced range of terminal meat Vantage sire lines.
Selection has focused on lean tissue food conversion, lean tissue growth rate and muscle depth. Meat quality traits are also included in our selection procedures.
All of this individual animal data is processed through the ACMC Gene Evaluation Programme (GEP) to create Estimated Breeding Values (EBV) for each boar.
Notwithstanding the individual boar's performance the boars are then selected for physical uniformity, locomotion and libido before embarking on their working productive life. ACMC Vantage EC Boar. The Vantage EC is our extreme conformation sire line boar. Its Extreme Conformation has been developed for those producers requiring well conformed muscling. In addition this terminal sire has very little backfat enabling it to meet the tightest grading specification.
"A world leader in applied pig genetic development providing the ultimate in product value."
Vantage EC - Breeding confidence
This terminal boar when mated with parent females such as the AC1, provides hybrid vigour, which enhances litter size and piglet survival. The resulting progeny show at an early stage extreme muscle conformation whilst being sturdy and viable.
