The UK-based international pig breeding company JSR Genetics Ltd have secured
an agreement to supply two of the Ukraine’s largest pig producers with high-health
breeding stock.
The companies LLC Plemzavod and LLC Evroresurs: (Kalita) visited the UK earlier
this year to inspect JSR’s supply units as part of the Ukraine’s
health certificate requirements. They were very impressed not only with the
quality of the stock, but the high standards of health and welfare maintained
by the company.
To date over 250 high-health animals have been exported to LLC Plemzavod with
another 400 due to be shipped in December 2009 and early January 2010. LLC Evroresurs
took delivery of over 100 animals in early November 2009.
“This has been a very successful delivery due to the help from the JSR
Technical Support Team, who were on-hand to ensure the animals settled into
their new environment with ease”, commented Elena Kruk, JSR’s agent
for the Ukraine territory. By the time the first delivery took place two technical
visits had already been carried out to ensure a production management system
was in place. Paul Anderson, JSR’s International Sales Director, emphasised
how important this is to help both companies maximise the profit and output
of their businesses.
Both herds are committed to using the JSR Checkmate pig management system which
has been developed in the UK by Paul Wright. The benefit of the system is that
it sets a small number of key goals for the unit and tracks them in an easy
to understand reporting format.
JSR first exported animals to the Ukraine in 2006 to supply Vira-1 Ltd in the
Volyn region, with over 1400 animals.
