At 2.46 average litters per mated female per year this computes to 30.26 pigs weaned per sow per year.
Xuanwei Farm’s performance has compared favourably with advanced market standards since the farm was stocked with PIC Genetics in 2013 and had the first litters of PIC progeny born in August 2014.
