Valuable finishers

With balance between traits, the Hypor Libra, our commercial F1 sow, can add the most value to your operation. We recognize that the sow is 50% of the finishing pig. The result is a balanced sow that is efficient in producing and weaning piglets that grow fast and in a feed efficient way. By focusing on the uniformity of growth on the dam lines, the Hypor Libra produces finishers that start and end at similar weights. This can decrease the time of your shipping window, or even the number of shipments when pigs are more uniform. Uniform pigs are also beneficial from an animal welfare perspective. The pigs are less likely to compete when there are minimal physical differences in the group, leading to a more comfortable environment for them to thrive. Finally, with an emphasis on high quality piglets, the Hypor Libra produces more full value finishers. This offers big advantages in social, environmental, and economic sustainability. Every resource is used efficiently, and the pigs live a productive life from weaning to processing.
