Our many years of breeding progress contributes to your future pig production
DanBred’s continuous breeding progress results in direct profitability for you as a pig producer.
Can we use the pig’s history to increase future daily gain?
Most producers of finisher pigs aim to achieve pigs with high daily gain, where all pigs raised in the same section can be sent to slaughter at the same time (or at least within the shortest period possible). However, this is not simple to achieve; pigs do not always grow at the same rate, as different variables can have huge impact on the daily gain. Increased knowledge of the individual pig’s history may help us predict the future daily gain and exactly how long it will take for the pig to reach the desired slaughter weight. This will help you as a pig producer utilise your stables’ maximum capacity and achieve the full potential of your animals.
Recent research: Survival until slaughter can be improved through breeding
Increased survival until slaughter has economic significance for you as a pig producer as well as social significance for animal health and welfare in the pig production in general. From a breeding perspective, survival is a complex trait, but research shows that it is possible to improve survival until slaughter through breeding. A current […]

Maximising genetic gain while controlling inbreeding
Sustainable breeding strikes a balance between realising the genetic gain and reducing the harmful effects of inbreeding. As selection becomes more intense, and only the very best animals are selected as parents of the next generation, breeding animals will become more related and thus more inbred. DanBred uses the state-of-the-art method of selection – optimum-contribution […]
