An advantage is the improvement in growth per day and desired meat quality in the fattening pigs. Danish sows with Duroc influence are known for their high litter size.

Improving the sow's nursing capacity through breeding

SEGES pilot study shows that improving the sow's nursing capacity has a positive effect on piglet survival and the size of the piglets at weaning.

Optimized local environment for piglets will increase the piglet survival

You must reevaluate the local environment for the piglets when the climate changes throughout the year. Make a deadline in the calendar every three months
