From the farrowing of the first DanBred gilts, I knew I had made the right choice! Farrowing is easy, they have great prolificacy, and the DanBred sows produce a lot of milk. From 2017 to 2021, I went from 11.7 to 15.8 weaned pigs per litter. That’s four more weaned pigs per litter in just four years! To put it another way, it’s 10 more weaned piglets per sow per year.

In idyllic surroundings in southern Jutland, Denmark, you can find one of DanBred’s valuable and loyal partners: Kongstedgaard, owned by Jes Meldgaard Philipsen, who has relied on DanBred genetics for many years. He owns a multiplication, with a little over 400 sows, as well as a finisher farm.

The DanBred Academy is our knowledge universe, which now offers all DanBred partners the possibility to participate in On-farm Training. With DanBred’s On-farm Training programme, you gain practical knowledge of how to systemise and efficiently run a pig operation that utilises the full potential of DanBred genetics.

Bonafarm Group produces 670,000 pigs annually, and the pig breeding integration is a vital part of Bonafarm Agriculture. They recently opened a third multiplication farm and by 2022 they expect to produce 750,000 pigs per year!

A successful farm with 60 dedicated employees that started using DanBred genetics more than 20 years ago. After switching to DanBred gilts, they quickly saw the results!

Earl Lucas farm switched to DanBred from another genetics company in 2012, and within a year they sold 1000 more pigs with 20 fewer sows.
