Since a small group of Oxford pig farmers set out to provide the highest quality pig on the market over half a century ago, we have been working to continuously breed a better pig. We continue our founders’ mission, by applying the technologies to drive genetic improvement.
We improve the performance of our pigs that by combining advanced science with a practical understanding of the biology of the pig and commercial needs of producers. We select for traits that are commercially relevant for producers and fulfill the demands of market. And we focus on technologies that we believe will help accelerate the rate of genetic gain.
We continuously invest to create more value. PIC focuses on all levers of genetic improvement. We invest in population size, we continuously seek differentiated germplasm and we invest in better data capture and algorithms to improve the accuracy of our selection.
We apply those improvements to multiple pure lines, so we can develop distinct products that fit with different production systems and breeding goals. And we continuously adjust supply with market demands, to be able to make the best products available to our customers.
Our philosophy of “Never Stop Improving” means a continuous effort to innovate, listen and apply—all for creating ever-increasing value for pig and pork producers.
