UK - JSR
Genetics, the UK based pig breeding company, has recently supplied a
large consignment of JSR boars to the privately owned Maxygen AI Stud,
near Wroclaw, Poland.
The import of Large White and Landrace grandparent boars
and Quantum and Large White terminal sire boars was the Maxygen Stud's
first since
2000; it positions them at the forefront of the drive for expansion
in the Polish market.
Speaking as the first shipment arrived, stud owner
Michel Dudek said "We
have been looking to source a broad range of quality genetics to service
a huge surge in demand. We researched the market and following visits
to the UK we decided that the JSR team offered the best combination of
effective science and excellent logistical and customer support."
A
further shipment of another 40 JSR boars will reach the Dudek stud
in December and will include Landrace, Large White, 12X, Duroc, Titan,
Quantum and Yorker lines.
Tim Rymer, Chairman of JSR commented "We
have already established a strong rapport with the Dudek family and
JSR boars have a proven track
record of achieving excellent results in similar conditions to those
of their stud. We are delighted to be supplying these outstanding boars
and giving Polish producers such a wide choice of high quality, locally
produced semen."
The forward thinking Dudek family, who already
have plans to establish a boar stud in both the Ukraine and the Czech
Republic, have timed their
investment in top quality UK genetics to coincide with a period of
intense expansion in the Polish pig industry; in 2005 alone the total
number
of breeding sows rose by 10% to 1.8 million.
As Tim Rymer observes, "Polish pig producers have been spending
heavily on new facilities - especially the larger operators - so investing
in world class genetics is absolutely crucial. It's also provided us
with a fantastic opportunity to accelerate our progress in Eastern Europe
and to further reaffirm the international standing of the UK's genetics."
