Benefits of the Hypor Maxter

High quality piglets

The Hypor Maxter produces uniform piglets with an average birth weight of 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) and 94% of piglets more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs). This has a direct effect on the productivity of your sow herd.

Fast-growing & uniform finishers

It is proven that the Hypor Maxter produces fast-growing and uniform finishers. It is one of the fastest growing Piétrains in the world, which reduces the number of growth days in the barn.

More quality meat

Carcasses from Hypor Maxter finishers easily fit many grids. They are consistently in the sweet spot of the grid for lean meat percentage, fat depth, muscle depth, and carcass weight measurements.

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.

Full value finishers

A Full Value Finisher (FVF) is any pig placed that reaches or survives to the market and/or slaughterhouse requirements. Our goal means 2% nursery mortality and 3% grow-finish mortality.

Carcasses hitting the grid

"Hitting the Grid” is dependent on the market and slaughterhouse, but of the full value finishers that reach the market, we strive for 98% of these to hit the grid.
