CARLO GENETICS

Carlo Genetics was founded in 1987 by Lorne and Carol Penner as a supplier of quality boar semen. It was the first licensed Boar Stud in Manitoba and the fourth one in all of Canada, and it all began with just two imported boars housed in an insulated freight trailer in Ste. Anne, Manitoba... Carlo Genetics strives for excellence in semen quality to ensure the best reproduction possible. Quality pork production starts with semen at the AI station. It's about control and the prevention of risks. The trend is decreasing sperm cells per insemination. Due to improved semen processing and insemination technology, as well as continuous monitoring of boar fertility and identification of sperm cell characteristics, the risks of smaller litters and lower fertilization rates are reduced. Better generations of boars are appearing faster and faster - fathers are being replaced by their sons who are already more efficient, have higher production and more offspring.
