Artificial insemination project for Spain’s Canary Islands

An artificial insemination project for better pork on the Canary Islands has been reported by Eurocarne in Spain, which says the island of Tenerife is to have a new pig artificial insemination center by the middle of this year.
A popular tourist destination in the Canaries close to the North African coast, Tenerife has a local pig production sector consisting of almost 5,000 sows on 130 farms. To support improvements in on-farm performance and carcass quality, Tenerife’s agriculture agency has made €71,700 available for a boar stud with an associated laboratory.
