All Hermitage Terminal AI boars are individually performance tested and included in the Hermitage Terminal Sire BLUP analysis, generating a unique Terminal Line Index (T.L.I) for each boar. Hylean MQM 55-60™
(Meeting the processor requirements)
The Hylean 55-60 range of Terminal AI boars are specifically selected for a minimum loin muscle depth of 55mm and a minimum loin muscle length of 60cm. Loin depth, area and length are measured using ultra-sound and the Hermitage Loin Meter. The Hermitage 'HYLEAN' breeding programme has focused on reduced back-fat, improved eating-quality and increased muscle yield in the key primal cuts of the carcass (ham, loin, belly and shoulder), thereby maximizing the benefits to the producer, processor and consumer.
