Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

Morning Oz, ........   A "training boar"...  I'm trying to picture that.....  Not many pictures coming through....  

Lol. It seemed pretty clear to me but then again it was all in my head

The new boar will be used to help us develop our process. We will make a dummy sow and practice semen collection. He will be used as a " back up" boar for AI from my supplier and also aid in estrus detection.

They do the same training process for horses and cows... Its a safer way to go and you can extend the semen to cover more animals without wearing out the doner...

Here is an article on processing and extending swine Semen

also to determine how much extender is to be used....

its a diminutive of florencio. I have no idea how it came about but its a bit like bill for william or paco for francisco.
