DanBred is synonymous with modern pig breeding. Breeding based on years of research and development, which provides pig producers all over the world with the best conditions for operating a strong and competitive business.
Every week, the DanBred breeding index is calculated for each breeding pig in our breeding system. The breeding index expresses the expected economic production value of the pig considering all the traits in our breeding goal. The breeding index is composed of various sub-indexes that express the genetic value for each trait in the breeding goal. Weighting the sub-indexes by their economic value results in the total breeding index.
The breeding index is calculated weekly using data from individual testing, pedigree and genomic information from DNA testing. The calculation is continuous, so only the most recent information is included in the breeding index for the DanBred breeding pigs.
In the breeding index for DanBred breeding pigs, the entire population has a breeding index of 100 as an average. A DanBred breeding pig with a greater genetic potential than the average will have a breeding index above 100. This means the pig has a larger economic production value. So, a high breeding index will result in a more efficient production economy and a herd with a higher genetic potential.
When you choose our DNA, your business will also benefit from our genetic progress.
Our professional Research & Development department is constantly working to improve the high genetic level of our breeding pigs. This results in continuous breeding progress. And that breeding progress manifests in your pigs 1:1.
