In the early 1960s a small group of Oxfordshire pig farmers, concerned that the traditional purebred breeders were not producing the right pig for future markets, invited a group of scientists to devise a way of producing a better hybrid.  Following their advice, they bought the best pigs they could find and began to improve them by a process of selection.

 PIC is able to produce improved breeding stock by identifying desirable traits that are heritable, setting selection objectives and then running intensive breeding programs.  As a result of this process, PIC delivers significant value to its customers in an industry where continual genetic improvement can be a key factor in helping ensure a pig producer remains competitive.

 PIC has been delivering this genetic improvement year on year for more than 40 years, during which time it has expanded into over 30 countries on six continents.
