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
  • 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

Danbred Yorkshire 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.
