See our latest performance data from DanBred nucleus breeding stock:
That gives us a unique understanding of how to select pigs with the best genes. Only the highest performing boars – with optimum index – are sent to our AI stations, where they father the pigs of the future.
At our testing station Bøgildgård and in our breeding herds. That’s record-breaking! Because we base our breeding work on such large amounts of data, we achieve sustainable genetic progress that contributes to high productivity in pig productions worldwide – year after year.

Genomic selection ensures breeding values can be calculated with an even greater accuracy, which has a positive contribution on genetic gain. DanBred conducts DNA testing on all breeding pigs, resulting in an increase of 30 % in genetic gain – a benefit that is available for everyone who uses DanBred genetics in their pig production.
