Large litters and an improvement in finisher pig results
Klasse Ki in St. Oedenrode held its networking days in the beginning of July – with mini sessions focused on outlining the breeding programme. Danish sows with Duroc influence are well known for their high litter size. Another advantage is the improvement in growth per day and desired meat quality in the finisher pigs. […]
Improving the sow’s nursing capacity through breeding
DanBred Landrace and DanBred Yorkshire are both known for their excellent mothering abilities. Still, we continue to optimize the genetic gain to ensure you have the best possible conditions to generate excellent business results. A recent pilot study conducted by the Danish Pig Research Centre (DPRC), SEGES, found that the nursing capacity of DanBred sows […]
Bridging the physical and virtual worlds
DanBred is leaping into the digital era as one of the first pig breeding companies to introduce Augmented Reality Remote Assistance (ARRA). This technology will enable farm management to visually collaborate with people outside of the farm without any physical interaction – increasing biosecurity, decreasing the amount of travel needed, strengthening collaborations, and generally improving […]
High performance capacity with DanBred Duroc
The performance capacity when rearing pigs using DanBred Duroc as terminal line is high, not only in Denmark but also outside of Denmark – if the pigs are ensured the right conditions. That is once again confirmed by results from a three-year project conducted by the Swedish meat trade organisation, Svenska Köttföretagen. DanBred offers a […]
