Danish Genetics mother line
The Danish Landrace, Danish Yorkshire and Danish Duroc breeds are part of the Danish Genetics breeding program.
The female animals of the Danish landrace and the Danish Yorkshire are also used in the Danish crossbreeding program.
The gilts (LY / YL) that result from the crossing of these two breeds have the best properties for the economical production of fattening piglets.
This is what distinguishes the Danish Landrace (LL):
- high fertility
- large and robust litters
- good mother properties
- strong foundation
- good handling
This is what distinguishes the Danish Yorkshire (yy):
- high fertility
- large and robust litters
- good mother properties
- high daily gains
- very good feed conversion
- unique meat quality
