R&D Solutions for Dam Line
Excellent dam lines are important genetic vehicles for rapid improvement of genetic progress in the population using breeding tools. As a company focused on animal health and animal-related research and development, BioVenic offers our global customers molecular genetics services to accelerate animal breeding process, as well as veterinary drug and feed development services to help researchers with their research and development.
Background of Dam Line
The selection and breeding of breeding sows, culling and renewal are the most critical links with the breeding process. Excellent breeding sows are important genetic carriers to rapidly improve the genetic progress of the breeding herd by breeding means, and directly determine the genetic progress and economic efficiency of the whole breeding system. The main traits of swine can be grouped into five types: physical appearance traits, meat quality traits, reproductive traits, growth and fattening traits and carcass breed traits. Breeding sows are mainly considered for reproductive performance (total litter size and live litter size, etc.), growth performance (age of offspring up to 100 kg body weight), meat production performance (fat thickness or eye muscle area of offspring up to 100 kg body weight) and body type (overall score). Therefore, the sows used for breeding focus on reproductive performance, taking into account growth and development.
Our Services
BioVenic is specialized in animal related research and development. We established partnerships with companies and academics involved in animal research around the world. Our extensive experience and advanced equipment give us the confidence to provide you with molecular genetic breeding technology services to accelerate the breeding process of the dam line. BioVenic offers not only services related to animal breeding, but also technical support on animal health and veterinary medicine, as well as animal feed and nutrition.
- Improve Reproduction Traits
The selection of dam lines in swine breeding program is mainly focused on reproductive ability, which shows an increase in total litter size and live litter size, good maternal ability, and high milk production, which can provide uniform bedding for piglets and easier management. In addition to completing acclimatization, it is necessary to identify the age at which the sow first comes into heat or ovulates. BioVenic is dedicated to provide customized services and R&D products to meet requirements in projects improving sow reproduction traits.
- Improve Growth Traits
The selection of dam lines in the breeding program of the core herd is aimed at high feed efficiency, fast growth rate and good carcass quality. BioVenic not only provides services for breeding, but also helps to investigate sow nutrition during estrus, pregnancy, and lactation, which help to improve growth traits.
