For SelectPride, GDUs are ranked by the sum of their production well-being assessment scores, biosecurity assessment scores, 28-day PCP (pregnancy check positive) rate minus their bred and open gilt mortality percent.

“This past quarter we had farms overcome some serious challenges, take on new roles and responsibilities, show strong initiative and adhere to strict biosecurity protocols," continued Jeremiah. "It’s safe to say we are impressed by all of these teams and their accomplishments.”
