Superior meat quality

Superior meat quality

The Hypor Kanto, our meat quality Duroc sire line, delivers high quality pork characteristics that fit with many different market needs. Carcasses from the Hypor Kanto fit many grids, including fat depth, muscle depth, and carcass weight measurements. Meat quality characteristics such as marbling, color, and pH are important targets for producers looking to gain more profits from the processors looking for better meat quality. Across research and commercial trials, the Hypor Kanto consistently exceeds these targets for both the domestic and export markets. Exceptional marbling is a distinct advantage for the Hypor Kanto. The average marbling achieved with Kanto finishers is 2.8% across trials, where ≥2.5% is considered ideal for export markets. This level of marbling results in a low drip loss and enhanced tenderness and taste. With the high level of meat quality possible, the Hypor Kanto is a great choice for producers looking to enter the market of premium quality meat.
