Genesus Story Page 5

Nursery

The high health of Genesus can be seen in the commercial nursery. A strong weaned pig with no major health challenges starts fast, grows fast, and has a low mortality.

The sow's high lactation appetite and her high milk production drives her healthy pigs through the nursery.  Her uniform litters preserve their uniformity throughout the growth period in the nursery.

Genesus pigs are calm resulting in healthy Genesus pigs that are much easier to manage and therefore more productive.

Grow-finish

Uniform, high-health pigs moved from the nursery to the finisher get off to an extraordinary start on their way to market.

Throughput in modern production facilities is critical.  Uniform pigs with good feet and legs and calm temperament are a throughput necessity.  Genesus delivers on all these characteristics.

The high appetite of the Genesus market hog drives average daily gain. We are proud to say that some of our market hog closeouts have had ADGs of 2 lbs/day and feed conversions under 2.7.  The harmony of nutrition, management, health and genetics is a beautiful thing to behold.

The Genesus market hog's calm demeanor, strong feet and legs, uniformity, high appetite, good health and excellent feed conversion all add up to the type of hog all producers need to maximize results and profitability.

The results of Genesus research and development in carcass and meat quality are recognized at the packing plant. The Genesus market hog is achieving excellent grades and bringing excellent premiums, which maximizes customer returns.

Genesus market hogs are in demand. This not only enhances prices but also widens your marketplace options.
