High quality piglets

The Hypor Magnus, our Duroc sire line, consistently produces uniform, healthy piglets at a heavier birth weight. These piglets are born with an average birth weight of 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) with 96% weighing more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs). We know that heavier piglets are at a strong advantage right from the start. They are more likely to consume enough colostrum, survive to weaning with greater weights, and become full value finishers in fewer days. Along with heavy birth weights, uniformity in piglet weight is important in producing healthy, high quality pigs. When all piglets are similar weight and size, there is less competition for teats, and they can easily get the same nourishment from their mother. Piglets with heavy and uniform weights are also more likely to be successfully weaned from the sow.

Uniformity in piglet weight is an important factor in producing high quality, healthy pigs. When all piglets are similar weight and size, there is less competition for teats, and they can easily get the same nourishment from their mother. The Hypor Magnus has been selected for minimal variation in piglet birth weight. From a management perspective, this also means you can focus on equal caring for the entire litter.

Although weaning can be a stressful event, Hypor Magnus piglets are selected to easily cope. Hypor Magnus piglets are vital and heavy at weaning, which sets them up for success throughout life.
