The GAP Genetics program is based upon the development of an uncompromised sound, durable high performance production female for today’s commercial hog production systems. Genetic development centers around the world class genetic base of nucleus animals which are continuously subjected to a stringent maternal genetic development program. Heavy selection emphasis is placed upon key economic traits: pigs born alive and litter weaned weight.

The GAP Genetics nucleus herds are comprised of the GAP Genetics purebred Large White and GAP Genetics purebred Landrace breeds, and it is from these herds that genetic improvement and progress is made and transferred into commercial hog breeding systems.

GAP Genetics has developed the Biosecure Maternal System (BMS) to address the ongoing health challenges facing the industry. Our GAP Genetics-BMS program provides the hog production unit with a progressive, economic breeding system to produce GAP Genetics’s superior line of breeding pigs, the English Belle, the English Hybrid, and the Northern Hybrid.

GAP Genetics has also implemented the GAP Genetics Advanced Genetic Management Program to make the right breeding and genetic decisions on-farm, on-time, that add value and profit to your hog operation.

GAP Genetics uses its own ‘Advanced Gene Transfer Center’ to facilitate the collection, evaluation, and dissemination of the superior genetic lines of pigs for commercial breeding systems and customers throughout North America.
