A British pig-breeding company has received two orders
for genetically improved pigs from the Russian Republic of
Tatarstan.
The company, ACMC, announced the order for an initial delivery of over 300
GGP stock, worth €368,000 is to be followed by further shipments later in 2007,
amounting to a total of 640 nucleus animals when
complete.
Nucleus
All the high-health nucleus stock will be
supplied from ACMC's isolation farm, near Malton, North
Yorkshire.
The animals will be used to stock a new nucleus breeding
herd being set up by Agrofirma SABA, an integrated farming operation, in the
Sabinski region of Tatarstan under a franchise agreement.
This will
supply breeding animals to multiplying farms in the area, which will then
produce improved stock for commercial production
locally.
