(PDF) Breeding robust pigs - ResearchGate
Jan 1, 2005 · Our first objective was to develop a proxy for robustness of fattening pigs by modelling the longitudinal energy allocation coefficient to growth, with the resulting environmental variance of...
Breeding for robustness in pigs: Conformation | News - DanBred
Jul 4, 2019 · The breeding of robust pigs is a substantial key input factor to global pig production and ensures healthy and strong animals. Robust pigs are more resistant to changes in their environment. They stay fit and free of infections and diseases and maintain a high productivity.

Berkshire Pig: Traits, Meat Excellence, Raising Tips ... - FarmerDB
Sep 11, 2023 · The Berkshire pig’s body is robust and sturdy, with very well-developed musculature. The body is also deep, which means it has significant depth from the back to the underside. This depth is a sign of good muscling and indicates a well-developed body.
Robust pigs are healthier, stronger, more resistant to changes in their environment and maintain a high productivity. Therefore, pig breeding companies include indicator traits for robustness – such as conformation and longevity – in their breeding goals. 2.
Robustness for better health and efficient production
Nov 3, 2022 · Topigs Norsvin breeds robust pigs. Compared to competitor animals, Topigs Norsvin animals are naturally better able to withstand climate, feed, and disease challenges. This leads to uniform, efficient, healthy, and sustainable production.
Most Prolific Hybrid for Production - DanBred
The breed produces large viable litters of robust pigs, which grow fast and have a high feed efficiency all the way to slaughter, and when crossed with DanBred Duroc, the offspring will inherit all these traits as well as an excellent meat quality.
Balanced breeding for the future - Swineweb.com - Complete …
Jan 23, 2024 · Through balanced breeding, we want to provide pig production with more efficient, sustainable and robust genetics. Breeding is part of the solution. Within breeding, selection is used to improve the important traits of pig production.
Robustness Impacts Overall Profitability - PIC North America
Aug 21, 2019 · Robustness is the ability of the pig to be resilient in the face of those conditions, and then extends through finishing in the form of efficienct gain in challenging conditions, he says. From a genetic improvement perspective, Herring puts robustness into three categories: gilt and sow soundness, pre-weaned piglets, and wean-to-finish pigs.
Breeding for robustness in pigs: Longevity | News - DanBred
