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?
Seven new boars are now available thanks to the sponsorship of
the RBST ReGeneration Appeal. Robert Overend would like to thank all
those who helped to track down these boars and especially Steve
Loveless who undertook all the quarantine and blood testing.
What are the pedigrees of the
boars?
Click on the registration number of boar to see a pedigree
certificate or use the on-line herdbook to investigate the pedigrees
in more detail
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.
