TOP-TIER GENETIC LINES 1
L02 / GP1010 (LANDRACE)
Breed Characteristics: high fertility with large and uniform litters, high farrowing rate, very good maternal performance; very strong robustness with good leg soundness and low piglet and sow losses; economic efficiency through very favourable feed intake and efficiency, longevity and production persistency, with teat number and preweaning survival rate as focal points in the breeding goal. Breeding population (March 2020): 68,792 active sows; 2,404 AI boars in total, worldwide. Breeding goal – in descending order of importance: Increasing (1) growth rate, (2) loin muscle depth, (3) teat number, (4) birth weight, (5) feed efficiency, (6) litter weaning weight, (7) litter size, (8) preweaning survival rate. Constant (9) leg soundness, (10) backfat depth, (11) semen quality, (12) stillbirth, (13) congenital defects rate, (14) weaning-mating interval.
