The DanBred sows have excellent mothering abilities and can take care of many piglets. Therefore, it is […]
Optimal finishing feed strength for finishers has increased
A recent trial by SEGES Innovation showed that today’s DanBred pigs can handle a higher finishing feed strength without compromising meat percentage and feed utilisation considerably. SEGES Innovation has previously recommended a finishing feed strength of max. 2.67-2.86 kg dry feed per day. However, in recent years, pig producers and advisors have frequently reported […]
More pigs and easier management after switch
Better mothering abilities and more liveborn piglets. These are two of the reasons why Kristoffer Hald chose to switch to DanBred genetics. And he can already see the difference. The sow has more liveborn piglets and is good at taking care of them. These are some of the things that Kristoffer Hald noticed after […]
