DanBred Yorkshire is characterised by its good mothering abilities and produces large litters of uniform and vigorous piglets. In addition to that, DanBred Yorkshire has a high daily gain, high feed efficiency and high meat quality, which makes this breed extremely effective for the production of pork.

DanBred Yorkshire originates from England and has been part of the Danish Pig Breeding Programme since the beginning of the 1970s.
DanBred Yorkshire 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
Large litters: Produce uniform litters of robust and vigorous piglets

Good mothering abilities: High nursing capacity and weaning rates of own piglets, that are easy to handle

High daily gain: Continuous improvements in genetic progress for daily gain

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

Exceptional meat quality: Traits contribute to high-quality pork production
