Sustainable Swine Breeding

Sustainable Swine Breeding

After decades of focusing on balanced breeding, we have reached a new era: the era where we transition from balanced breeding to sustainable breeding.

The focus on balanced breeding objectives is a bigger challenge as economic, social, and environmental aspects come into play. Hendrix Genetics wants to pave the way towards a more sustainable pork industry.

As a global leader, we want to set the standards on economic, social, and environmental sustainability. This evolution is more important than ever.

A new era has begun. Learn more about the Sustainable Pork journey here.
