How to obtain 30 pigs/sow/year

摘要

Global turndown means producers must have top production on minimal feed. In the current global economic downturn, it's vital that pig producers have genotypes that are highly productive and produce pigs that grow fast on minimum feed. Because of genetic improvements, many DanBred producers in Denmark are rearing over 30 pigs per sow on a regular basis and this is weaning at four weeks, not at three weeks as is common in Asia. That's the view of Henrik Boholm. international area manager for DanBred International, who spoke at a recent seminar in Bangkok. Thailand.
