Why choose the breed Landrace by Nucléus as the gilt for the renewing of your farm ?

Introduced in France in 1930s, the Landrace pig breed has many advantages for you who want to get an optimal breeding comfort and to have guaranteed results on the long term. What are its genetic strengths ? Why the maternal line Landrace is the ideal whatever are your breeding conditions ?

Maternal qualities and numerical productivity : two strengths of the sow Landrace by Nucléus

Sows issued from this pig breed reach their sexual maturity very quickly and are characterized by a very long life. Their prolificity is no longer to be demonstrated and the breed also has very good growth performance (100 kg to 150 days). Moreover, the Landrace breed is currently the second French breed in terms of numbers thanks to its ease to give birth.

Landrace by Nucleus sows are known for their excellent maternal qualities.These are reinforced by the implementation of a genomic selection program on litter size, in collaboration with INRA.Genomic selection allows the reliable evaluation of low heritable criteria and above all allows to generate a high surplus-value in breeding.

The Landrace sow is often crossed with the Large White breed (another breed of high reproductive yield sows) whose female lines are also recognized for the quality of their litters (vigour and weight of the piglets at birth).These hybrid sows have very high numerical productivity (15 piglets/litter and 13 weaned). The annual gain in weaned piglets/sows/year is estimated at +1 on average! Note that Landrace piglets are heavier at weaning.

Landrace sow and health advantages

Management of the health of sows is also one of the main considerations of breeders. The advantage of the Landrace sow is that it is certified high sanitary level. So you can use this female line serenely.
