Research and Genetics
Investment in science and technology secured the companies that forged together to create JSR Genetics a key position at the forefront of genetic development. JSR Genetics aims to maintain a leading position in the advancement of pig science.
JSR Genetics aim to continue to improve the competitiveness of commercial pig producers worldwide. This requires producing animals that are both productive and robust. Both the genetic and the research programme play a crucial role in achieving this objective.
JSR Research & Genetics develop, implement and monitor their genetic programmes to maximise genetic progress and ensure gains in genetic potential are expressed on both commercial pig farms and within the breeding pyramid.
We select our pigs based on profitability for commercial producers. We carefully choose our selection environments to create conditions to select pigs with superior performance on a wide range of commercial pig farms.
Our research portfolio covers a wide range of projects but focuses on six key areas:
- Quantitative Genetics
- Carcase, Meat and Eating Quality
- Health and Welfare
- Reproduction and AI
- Molecular Genetics and Genomics
- Housing and Nutrition
