02/04/2012 - JSR launch ‘Faster Finishing’ Boar
Pig and Poultry Fair 2012 will see the launch of a keenly anticipated new Sireline, the ‘faster finishing’ JSR Geneconverter 800m Boar, by leading global pig breeders, JSR Genetics.
Bred specifically for speed of growth, JSR Geneconverter 800m progeny are up to 3 days faster to finish, giving an extra 5 kilos for those wanting more weight at the end of the production cycle. In JSR’s nucleus units the top 10% of animals are consistently achieving 100 kilos in 120 days with weaning-to-finish growth rates well in excess of 900 g/day.
The new Sireline, whose development is a result of JSR’s international breeding programmes and advanced development technologies, is also a response to direct customer demand.

Pioneering new technology, unique in the UK, is being used by JSR Genetics to enhance the flavour of pork by reintroducing more marbled meat, without adding back fat.
The image analysis software called BioSoft Toolbox® II - the only one of its kind in the UK - allows operators to analyse ultrasound scans from live animals to determine intra muscular fat (IMF) levels, the trait that determines not only flavor, but also tenderness and succulence.
