You Have to Take Ownership http://www.porknetwork.com/pork-resources/breeding-herd/genetics-reproduction/mapping/you-have-to-take-ownership-114062604.html The days of society being tied to the farm and understanding why you do what you do are gone. You have to accept that fact and move on. Of course, that’s easier said than done, because farmers get really frustrated with people challenging their actions and intentions. Getting Your Genetics’ Worth http://www.porknetwork.com/pork-resources/breeding-herd/genetics-reproduction/mapping/getting-your-genetics-worth-114022579.html With today’s highly efficient swine genetics, raising healthy, fast-growing pigs should be an easy outcome, right? Leading Breeders form Genetic Services Company http://www.porknetwork.com/pork-resources/breeding-herd/genetics-reproduction/mapping/leading-breeders-form-genetic-services-company-114025884.html The group will draw on its extensive gene pool and unique attributes to position the company more formally at a national level. Introducing a New Swine Genetics Line http://www.porknetwork.com/pork-resources/breeding-herd/genetics-reproduction/mapping/introducing-a-new-swine-genetics-line-114019734.html A high-health swine genetic nucleus, featuring Maxgro terminal sires, is being established at Hermitage Roseland artificial insemination station in Gwynne, Alberta, according to Hermitage NGT. Genetic Progress: Tipping The Genetic Iceberg http://www.porknetwork.com/pork-resources/breeding-herd/genetics-reproduction/mapping/genetic-progress-tipping-the-genetic-iceberg-114006119.html Genetic advancement relies heavily on information. Researchers first must identify and isolate a gene for certain traits, before they can select for those traits.
