and Benefits
GENETICS
Truline Genetics has documented and proven its
superior genetic lines for premium meat quality traits. The
documentation of this superiority is the basis of the entire program and
the opportunities if affords. This documentation is provided through
national test comparisons and third party testing of a large number of
progeny groups and genetic lines
Therefore, production must come from a total
Truline breeding system. Truline Genetics makes recommendations to meet
the goals of the optimum system and the demands of the ultimate
consumer. These recommendations must be implemented by all Certified
Production Herds. Truline Genetics is committed to the continued
research and development of its genetic lines in order to maintain and
enhance the program's mission.
HEALTH
Certification for Pork Quality Assurance Level
III requires the maintenance of a high health herd with strict
biosecurity. Truline genetic lines have a naturally strong immune system
affording high levels of health and natural immunity, with strong
responses to vaccines. High levels of natural health allows for the
removal of hormones, antibiotics, and animal by-products, in the feed
source of the pig. Feed grade antibiotics are not allowed during the
growing life of the pig.
A Herd Health Management Program and Herd
Biosecurity Plan must be established in all Certified Herds.
NUTRITION
A certified level of nutrition is required to
optimize genetic quality, lean gain, health and natural immunity.
Products that could possibly impair color, taste, consistency or quality
of this product are not to be fed. Truline Genetics recommends nutrition
levels for all phases of production and will assist you in the
production of natural fed, antibiotic free pork.
CARE
AND MANAGEMENT
Recommended procedures of care, handling, and
management must be followed. All good stockmen and pig producers realize
that pigs respond positively to good care, gentle handling and
attention. Buildings, feeders, water access and ventilation must be
designed to eliminate stress or injury during the feeding period.
Load-out facilities and procedures must be designed for minimal stress.
Quality people, quality pigs and quality care are goals of this program.
Certified Herds must adhere to program
requirements. Compliance is maintained through periodic inspection by a
Truline representative. Any herd found in violation of any requirement
will lose its certification status until program requirements are
corrected and followed.

requirements will be included in Truline's marketing assistance program.
