Press releases - Genetics and reproduction

Since LP5 (Living Piglets on day 5 after farrowing) was introduced as a breeding goal, it has contributed to a significant and positive genetic gain and corresponding reproductive ability in the commercial herds.

On June 27, Topigs Norsvin held the official opening of its new research center Delta Canada. The opening event was visited by almost 1000 customers and other relations.

Hypor is adding Charlie McKenzie, a pork industry veteran, to its sales force.

The Asian country is receiving exports from Semen Cardona for more than 10 years, and this investment will bring production closer, strengthen the commercial commitment and ensure greater immediacy in distribution.

Hendrix Genetics has joined a research alliance to develop pioneering genetic technology. Through the use of precision breeding, this group hopes to end the surgical castrations of male piglets.

Excellence in pork production is all about raising the bar, whether it’s heavier weights, higher production or hardier pigs, and that’s what the Hypor Magnus is all about.

Over the last three years, DanBred has generated and documented a genetic gain of € 5.97 per finisher.

With the presence of Joaquin Olona, Agriculture Counselor of the Government of Aragon, the ITM Meeting that Magapor organizes every year started on the 25th of April.

Semen Cardona is committed to one of the most advanced innovations in state-of-the-art packaging. This is BactiBag, recently created by IMV Technologies with the help on developement by Semen Cardona.

Pigbase contains pig data gathered at nucleus farms, commercial farms, and slaughterhouses.

It will consolidate its growth in the Spanish market.

The new artificial insemination center (AIC) of Semen Cardona in the Philippines is going to become real during this semester, this current year 2018 the production of high-performance semen doses is going to be started from imported specimens from the best European genetics.

The expression “time is money” is especially true for pork producers, because time and money are the two things that are always in short supply; or at least, they used to be.

As the world’s most “prolificient” sow - the sum of prolific and efficient – the Libra* balances traits in feed conversion and mothering ability to lower the feed cost per pig.

Best pork; lowest cost. In any recipe for Total System Profitability, those are key ingredients. That may explain why the Hypor Magnus stole the show in a recent terminal sire trial at Hickory Ridge Research and Consulting against our biggest global competitor when it comes to the sire line.
