The partnership covers the introduction, local production, and distribution of the PN3 terminal boar to meet the requirements of the Ukrainian swine sector.
A Two-Phase Operational Rollout
The agreement will be implemented in two key operational stages:
- Initial Exports: A first shipment of PN3 boars will be exported from France to Ukraine before the end of 2026 to initiate commercial operations.
- Local Production: In the second phase, Agrifood Consulting will develop local production to ensure a continuous supply for Ukrainian farms.
Technical Features of the PN3 Boar
The selection of the PN3 boar is based on targeted technical and economic performance criteria:
- Feed Efficiency and Growth Rate: The feed conversion ratio (FCR) stands at 1.99 with an average daily gain (ADG) of 1,246 g/day for the top 10% of the selected population.
- Carcass Yield: The muscle mass of the PN3 is selected to optimize slaughter yields.
- Meat Quality Safety and hardiness: NN selection (halothane-free) to drastically reduce stress-related mortality risks typical of the Pietrain breed and insure superior meat quality (Driploss reduction, Optimal pH, and high % of lean meat).
