Duroc and Hylean Pietrain lines thereby optimizing carcass quality and primal yields.The Hylean MQM is a robust, high conformation terminal sire and is suited to all production systems.The progeny of the Hylean MQM are renowned for their vigour and viability.Weaners exhibit excellent disease resistance and vitality during all stages of the production cycle and losses from birth to slaughter are minimized.

All Hermitage Terminal AI boars are individually performance tested and included in the Hermitage Terminal Sire BLUP analysis, generating a unique Terminal Line Index (T.L.I) for each boar.

The Hylean MQM boar is particularly suitable for mating with Hermitage Hybrid gilts - Classic 1, Classic 2 and Classic 3 to produce a high performing slaughter generation pig.

Hylean MQM 55-60™ (Meeting the processor requirements)

The Hylean 55-60 range of Terminal AI boars are specifically selected for a minimum loin muscle depth of 55mm and a minimum loin muscle length of 60cm. Loin depth, area and length are measured using ultrasound and the Hermitage Loin Meter.The Hermitage 'HYLEAN' breeding programme has focused on reduced back-fat, improved eating-quality and increased muscle yield in the key primal cuts of the carcass (ham, loin, belly and shoulder), thereby maximizing the benefits to the producer, processor and consumer.
