SWINE IMPROVEMENT
USING A WEIGHT AND
PROBE PROGRAM
The Extension Branch, Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food, Clinton, in co-operation with
the Huron County Pork Producers
Association are planning a dem-
stration on how to measure back-
fat thickness of replacemment
gilts by a simple, low cost, rapid
anct accurate probing method.
ifeCttitse: rate a f gain (or weight
fm?' age) ters, important, pro-
dn&ir's; Ere encouraged to select
breeding gfea that will grow
rapidly and efilcie'irifly Atid have
low backfat it:fit:line:Ss, Fortun-
ately, both backfa> ihickftesS and
weight for ag,' are sufficiently'
hereditary to. en:11'M prbducers t.o•
make considerable improvement
in both of these importasit traits
through selection.
Moreover. ,,the demand for less
fat in pork products has caused
•;%\'1.3te producers to search fur
pigs with less bach.fat and more,
lean. 'Under the present. Canadian
pork carcass grading system, thcf
price which the produc-er receives
for each carcass is determined by
the "Index" .which is based prim-
arily upon backfat thickness and'.
carcass weight.
Two factrat probing demon-
strations were held on Monday,
December 14th.
