Otrada will become the exclusive partner in Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Armenia for PIC\u2019s lines PIC\u00aeX54 (F1 female), PIC\u00aeL04 (Landrace), PIC\u00aeL05 (Yorkshire) and the PIC\u00ae800 (Duroc). This relationship combines PIC\u2019s leading genetic program and genetics with Otrada\u2019s operational excellence in elite genetic production, distribution and customer service. As a result, Russian producers will have direct access to the highest quality genetics and the relevant local support. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Otrada is a leading porcine genetic production and distribution company operating in Russia for over 15 years and has been a key enabler of the expansion of the Russian pig industry. Russia has now reached self-sufficiency in pig production and has an opportunity to grow and become a leading exporter provided an improvement of its production efficiency occurs. Otrada intends to invest in its breeding stock supply infrastructure to help Russian producers capture the opportunity. The investment plans include the end-to-end process of collecting phenotype and genotype data, addition of state-of-the-art testing and data acquisition equipment to accelerate genetic gain, and the introduction of semen distribution capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the collaboration, PIC will run the genetic program for Otrada and integrate the genetics from Otrada with relevant PIC genetics. PIC will apply the latest technology to accelerate the rate of genetic gain and will focus on traits that are important to the Russian market. PIC continues to distribute products including the PIC Camborough\u00ae and the PIC\u00ae337 through its subsidiary company Genetika PIC in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Russian producers will get multiple benefits from this strategic relationship. They will see direct access to top quality genes without having to import them, which is the result of the status of Otrada\u2019s nucleus farm within the PIC system. They will experience an acceleration of the rate of genetic gain which is the result of combining PIC\u2019s and Otrada\u2019s populations, applying PIC\u2019s world-class genetic program to these populations, and optimizing the selection goals of the new PIC lines for the Russian market.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is a pivotal moment for Otrada\u201d says Patrick Hoffmann, CEO and main shareholder of Otrada. \u201cPIC\u2019s genetic and technological leadership as well as its global scale is a complementary fit for Otrada\u2019s deep understanding of the Russian market and experience. Together, we can offer our customers access to these new PIC lines with a world class genetic potential and supporting them locally in turning this potential into actual performances.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>J\u00fcrgen Kramer, General Manager for PIC Europe adds: \u201cWe look forward to the relationship with Otrada. Otrada\u2019s distribution network, expertise in animal production and understanding of the Russian market makes the collaboration compelling. Through PIC\u2019s existing operations in Russia and the new strategic relationship with Otrada, PIC can offer Russian producers the options that best fit for their systems to make them successful.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>About Otrada<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>Otrada, the leading independent genetic production and distribution company in Russia, was founded in 2005 by Patrick Hoffmann. Today, Otrada has 4.500 nucleus sows in the southwest of Russia and counts 13 of the top 20 Russian producers as its customers.
