Breeds at Risk AI
What is it?
The purpose of the scheme is to provide an Artificial Insemination
service for breeds at risk so that the maximum
number of purebred litters can be produced.
Which breeds are available?
You can use the Search for Pigs facility in the Pedigree Pigs
section to get an up to date list of pedigree boars available. Click
on Search for Pig and select Breed and AI boars. Leave the county or
region blank.
What are the pedigrees of the
boars?
You can click on the boars name in the interactive list to get a
full pedigree
How do I order semen?
Semen should be ordered direct from the AI centre at Deerpark
Pedigree Pigs:
- Telephone: 028 79 386287
- Fax: 028 79 386511
-
www.deerpark-pigs.com
How much does it cost?
For each sow you want to breed you will receive 3 bottles of semen
and three disposable insemination catheters. The cost is £20 plus
postage and packing.
What if I have never used AI
before?
The insemination technique is not hard to learn and we have prepared
a leaflet explaining the procedures for heat detection and
insemination that will be sent out with each order.
