What is PIC Australia and what does the company provide?

Updated

PIC Australia is a pig genetics company that supplies genetically advanced gilts, boars and Liquid Genes, and backs those products with genetic and technical service support. It is relevant if you are a commercial pig producer looking for breeding stock or genetics-related resources and advice. The site presents the company around four areas: Products, Services, Resources and Contact.

Products: what PIC Australia supplies

The company describes its product range as genetically advanced gilts, boars and Liquid Genes. In practical terms, these are the breeding inputs a farm uses to improve the genetic potential of its herd over successive generations.

Product What it is Typical use on a farm
Gilts Young female breeding pigs Introducing new maternal genetics into the breeding herd
Boars Male breeding pigs Providing sire genetics, either directly or through semen
Liquid Genes Genetic material supplied in liquid form Extending the reach of a given boar's genetics across the herd

The site does not publish prices, product specifications or ordering terms, so treat the table as a description of the product categories rather than a catalogue. For specific availability, performance data or commercial terms, you need to contact a representative.

Services: the support behind the products

PIC Australia states that its local team draws on global Genetic and Technical Service teams made up of more than 100 experts. Those teams work with customers to help unlock the genetic potential of their pigs.

For a farm, this matters because genetics only deliver results if they are matched to your production system, management and targets. The practical value of the service side is in decisions such as which lines suit your operation and how to get the expected performance from the stock you buy. The site does not detail service packages, response times or whether support is included with a purchase, so confirm scope when you make contact.

Resources: material for you and your farm

The Resources section offers downloadable material intended to help you and your farm. The site does not list the individual documents, so the best approach is to open the Resources page directly and review what is currently available before deciding whether it covers your question.

Contact: how to reach a representative

To contact a PIC Australia representative, complete the form on the Contact Us page. The company states it will respond as soon as possible and that the information you supply is kept confidential and not passed to other parties.

One practical point: the contact form requires JavaScript. If the form does not load, check that JavaScript is enabled in your browser before trying again.

How to decide whether to get in touch

Use the following as a quick filter:

  • You are sourcing breeding stock — gilts, boars or Liquid Genes are directly relevant to your herd plan.
  • You want genetics advice tied to your system — the global technical service teams are the reason to make contact rather than just browse.
  • You need published prices or specifications — these are not on the site, so a direct enquiry is the only route.
  • You want background material first — start with the Resources page, then contact with specific questions.

Because the site provides no pricing signals or published product parameters, any decision on cost, supply or fit with your operation should follow a conversation with a representative rather than an assumption from the website.
