BPA Bloodline Audit 2020 - Large Black

If you completed your survey, you should already have received an email from the BPA with the results.

In addition to the usual charts, the BPA have included a geographical distribution split for each line, so we can see trends where lines are only found in certain areas.

Club objectives for 2021 are to:

Improve the numbers and distribution of the Princess, Queen & Warbler lines.

Select a final boar for the genebank unrelated to both the tank and the general population.

Identify pigs of breeding age with no birth notified progeny which are the least related to the general population and encourage pure breeding
