NUCLÉUS PARTICULARITY

NucléusTM has particularly worked on FCR & ADG ans the results are there

4 years ago NUCLEUS has installed feed control equipment in several selection farms of Pietrain. This equipment controls the Average Daily Weight Gain (ADG) and the Feed Conversion Rate (FCR).

Performances of boars tested and entered in AI Center from those farms are simply wonderful.

In average, age at 100 kg is less than 131 days, it means 4 month and 11 days of life. Their Feed Conversion Rate during that period of fattening is less than 2.20.
