Breeding
We are committed to research and development.
Our breeding teams are located in strategic locations worldwide, where they test our products under local diverse conditions.
Our goal is simple: to produce lines that thrive under all conditions to support pork production at least cost.
We improve our breeding program continuously through:
- Investment: We invest in technology: data analysis, biotechnology, reproductive technology.
- Communication: We speak and listen to our customers. Together we define, evaluate and fine-tune our breeding program—this results in products focused on local market demands.
- Vigilance: We watch trends and market needs to address market and product limitations and opportunities.
- Efficiency: We translate economics and product quality into breeding goals.
At Hypor we strongly believe in 'balanced breeding': choosing the right combination of traits and appropriate selection pressure.
Our breeding program is focused on delivering the best genetic solution to support least cost pork production. To establish this we operate from strategically located nucleus units around the world.
Breeding technology has changed significantly over the decades with the introduction of BLUP technology being the most revolutionary change. At the moment we are on the verge of the next major breakthrough in pig breeding: Genomic Selection
We know that the true measure of reproductive performance is our sow's genetic potential to maximize the weight of piglets weaned and pork sold per sow productive lifetime.
