Can you feel her ribs but not see them?

That’s the sweet spot.

When to score: – At weaning – 30 days post-mating – Before farrowing

What to aim for: – At 30 days pregnant, at least 85% of your sows should be in optimal condition. – Too thin = lower feed intake in lactation, poor piglet growth – Too heavy = increased risk of farrowing problems and poor rebreeding

Regular checks = healthier sows, smoother farrowings, and faster rebreeding. It’s a small habit that pays big.

Breeding the sow of the future starts today. How?

With Maternal GNX.

Our Maternal GNX program captures phenotypic and genomic data on thousands of crossbred daughters raised in commercial settings. With over 150,000 records collected per year, this real-world production data is used to strengthen our selection index, resulting in accelerated genetic progress.

That’s just one way we’re advancing sow longevity. Discover others: https://bit.ly/456sBeN

Robustness isn’t luck—it’s a formula: Genetics + Environment + Management = Longevity & Performance
PIC is rewriting the rules with:

Reproductive Success – fewer involuntary culls

Digital Structure – AI-powered leg scoring for better retention

POP Reduction – first-ever genetic prediction for prolapse risk
These aren’t just traits—they’re tools to build sows that stay longer, perform better, and raise stronger litters

The result? More productive herds, less turnover, and a smarter path to profitability.

The Evolving Sow Robustness EquationPIC’s new genetic traits, paired with improved sow body condition management recommendations, drive robustness progress and sow longevity. Justin Holl,...
