For pig farmers, every breeding decision matters. Stronger, healthier animals can mean better welfare, longer productive lives and more value from one of their most important investments. But some of the traits that matter most — including structure, movement and longevity — have traditionally been difficult to measure with consistency.
That is where digital phenotyping is changing what is possible. By using computer vision, artificial intelligence and data-driven analysis, PIC can evaluate pigs more objectively and identify traits linked to stronger performance. This gives geneticists a clearer view of an animal’s potential and what it can pass on to future generations.
Today, PIC’s digital structure model delivers three times greater heritability than traditional scoring. For producers, that can support better selection decisions, more robust sows, improved productivity and greater confidence in the future of their herds.
Watch the video to learn how digital phenotyping works and why it represents an exciting step forward for swine genetics. From stronger data to smarter selection, this technology is helping reveal what the future of more productive, resilient and sustainable pig farming could look like.
