  • providing a population of swine in a sire line in the genetic nucleus;

    establishing a subpopulation of males and females from the population of swine available for breeding and parenting progeny;

    inseminating one or more females in the subpopulation with a sex sorted sperm cell sample from one or more males in the subpopulation so that approximately 10 to 35% of the progeny of the subpopulation are male, thereby increasing the genetic progress within the genetic nucleus.
