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 range of service solutions and free manuals to help our customers get the full range of benefits from DanBred’s world-class genetics.
A three-year project monitored two Swedish farms that introduced DanBred Duroc as terminal line. Both farms also implemented recommendations available from DanBred and Danish advisors. The production results in the finisher production were evaluated by recording slaughter weight, lean meat percentage, mortality, daily growth, and feed efficiency. Health status was evaluated via statistics on inspection findings at slaughter. Furthermore, herd owners responded to surveys about production, management, feed, development in results, and their general experience with DanBred Duroc.
The project found that the performance capacity when rearing pigs using DanBred Duroc as terminal line is high, if the pigs are ensured the right conditions. Learn more about the results from the Swedish study by downloading the full article here.

DanBred Duroc is used as the terminal sire in the DanBred cross-breeding program, where the performance is excellent in combination with the DanBred Hybrid. DanBred Duroc produces large litters as well as fast growing finisher pigs with low feed conversion ratio and a high lean meat percentage. As an extra benefit, DanBred Duroc produces carcasses with an excellent meat quality. |
