To ensure the success of this program and above all respond to breeders’ wishes for progress, 6 experts in genetics cover the EVOLUTION territory.
To provide a more relevant response to the needs of the different breeding strategies, at national and international level, the XY Creation program takes the many different expectations into account via the choice of sires. Thus various segments of selection strategy are developed:
