Benefits of the Hypor Libra
Most efficient sow
The Hypor Libra is selected to be a productive and efficient mother. This means you can get the most value from your sow with little management involved.
Highest quality piglets
The Hypor Libra consistently produces uniform, healthy piglets at a heavier birth weight. We know that heavier piglets are at a strong advantage right from the start.

With balance between traits, the Hypor Libra can add the most value to your operation. We recognize that the sow is 50% of the finishing pig.
Our standards for sustainable swine breeding
Functional teats
The number of teats and the position are important. We are working towards 16 teats in total: 4 sets above the navel and 4 sets below the navel.
Litter characteristics
Our target for weaning capacity is set at an optimum of 16, 15, 14. Our sow is selected for 16 functional teats and the capacity to deliver 16 total born, 15 born alive, and 14 weaned.
Piglet birth weight
Piglet birth weight is proven to influence lifetime performance, with heavier birth weight piglets being more likely to survive and reach market in fewer days.
