Post-Cervical Insemination Advantages

Post-Cervical Insemination (PCI) has become a widely adopted technique, particularly in European markets. This technique offers several key benefits that contribute to improved productivity and efficiency in hog farming.

  • Optimized Semen Usage: PCI reduces the volume and concentration of semen required, enabling more doses to be produced per boar. This maximizes the use of high-genetic-value boars, improving traits such as growth rate, transformation index, and uniformity in offspring.
  • Enhanced Reproductive Results: By ensuring that only sows in heat are inseminated, PCI improves breeding outcomes and reduces wasted effort and resources.
  • Time Efficiency: PCI significantly reduces the time spent per sow during insemination. While traditional methods take an average of 5 to 10 minutes per sow, PCI can be completed in just 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Improved Control: This method allows greater oversight and precision throughout the insemination process, ensuring each sow is managed effectively.
  • Reduced Reflux: By delivering semen past the cervix, PCI minimizes the risk of semen reflux, increasing the likelihood of successful fertilization.
