Sire Line Development

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 quality before embarking on their working productive life.

ACMC Vantage LW Boar

The Vantage LW is our classic and highly recommended Large White sire line boar. Classic because of its renowned reputation for producing consistent high-class carcasses which are ideally suited for the most stringent grading classifications.

A world leader in applied pig genetic development providing the ultimate in product value.

Vantage LW - Breeding confidence

This hardy boar can be mated with confidence to parent females, such as the AC1, to produce excellent quality progeny. Its versatility and continuous use as a terminal sire demonstrates its genetic merit, which has proven difficult to match.

Vantage LW - Large White for quality
