    A safety net for pig farming

    With frozen boar semen against losses caused by epidemics or disasters. The genetic backup for Upper Austrian pig breeding is a cooperation between the Austrian Livestock Gene Bank and the Upper Austrian Pig Breeding Association.

    Breeding animals are the genetic future. The semen from the top boars at the Steinhaus insemination station near Wels is put through its paces - now also for its suitability for freezing. With seeds that can be stored indefinitely, losses - such as those caused by disease outbreaks - can be replaced at any time.
