The Boar Studs


"
In 1998 we made the decision to close our herd with Babcock's Closed Herd System. Almost immediately our herd health stabilized, and the health status of the entire operation has been stable and predictable year after year. We haven't had one significant disease break since we closed our herd, and the occasional minor hiccup is hardly even noticeable. Our growth rate, cost per pound or gain, and grade premiums from the packer have also improved every year.


We needed a genetics supplier that understood that their future and profitability is directly linked to the producer's, and I know we have that with Babcock Genetics."

Babcock Semen Processing Centers are the link between your farm and the genetic improvements vital to your continued success. To minimize genetic lag between your herd and the improvements made at the nucleus level, we employ a rapid rollover system based on weekly evaluations that determine each boar's true genetic value. On average, each center rolls their boar battery every eleven months.

New technologies to improve our already meticulous quality control system are implemented as they become available. Implementing computer assisted semen analysis in our labs to further minimize variation is just one example. In addition, we regularly use multiple independent third parties to validate our quality assessments and measurements.

Stringent quality control measures, combined with unparalleled biosecurity insure every dose of semen delivered to you is of the same high quality demanded for our own nucleus herd.

Biosecurity begins with location and continues with careful health monitoring protocols. Babcock's nucleus herd and boar studs are strategically located in isolated, low pig-density areas. Since all boars from all genetic lines come directly from Babcock's closed nucleus herd to our boar studs, the risk of disease introduction is virtually eliminated.

Biosecurity continues through delivery to your farm. To maintain the quality of every dose, over 98% of all manufactured doses are reliably delivered through our own courier system in a constant, stable environment.

A solid foundation of biosecurity, enhanced by continuing quality and technology innovations make Babcock's Semen Processing Centers authorities in the industry. You can count on us to safely deliver the latest in gene marker and performance advances to further enhance your farm's bottom line.
