DanBred Landrace has a high fertility and good mothering abilities, and it is known to produce large litters of robust pigs. Moreover, DanBred Landrace is a strong animal with solid legs and a high lean meat percentage.

DanBred Landrace originates from Danish Landrace, which has been bred specifically for production of bacon for the British market since the beginning of the 20th century.
DanBred Landrace is the result of decades of professional selection, where breeders, since the early 1970s, have focused on daily gain, feed conversion, longevity, fertility and meat quality.

7 Facts
Good mothering abilities: High nursing capacity and weaning rates of own piglets

High fertility: Produce large litters of vigorous piglets

Robust piglets: Progeny are robust and have uniform growth rates

Good conformation: Strong animals with solid legs and high longevity

Excelent feed conversion: Continuous improvements in genetic gain for feed conversion

High lean meat percentage: Ongoing selected for high lean meat, matching the trend for increasingly heavier finishers

Easy to handle: Progeny are easy to handle and highly social, leading to higher animal welfare and a safer work enviroment.

DanBred Landrace is a supreme dam line for DanBred’s crossbreeding programme.
DanBred’s crossbreeding programme is constantly optimised to make sure our genetic progress results in an efficient pig production worldwide. This is not only profitable for the producers it also contributes to a more sustainable production – by producing maximum output with minimum input.
