Well done to the Triple C Porta team in Zimbabwe!

Outstanding results with more than 15 pigs weaned per sow and litter weaning weights exceeding 120 kg. These results are a reflection of excellent management, attention to detail, and a committed team striving for continuous improvement.

Keep up the great work and setting the benchmark higher!
