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. Thanks to our swine breeding program, the Hypor Maxter, our Piétrain sire line, also shows an advantage on carcass uniformity. With these characteristics, pork producers are set up to receive a high value from their processing facility. For example, using a 95 kg (209 lbs) carcass weight, this translates to a bonus of 1.04 € ($1.24 USD) / per pig from the uniformity perspective alone. Another important characteristic of meat quality is drip loss (the loss of liquid from carcasses during storage). Carcasses with a high drip loss can have an unattractive appearance, decreases the tenderness of the meat, and reduces the amount of meat available for the processor to sell. In multiple trials, carcasses from Hypor Maxter finishers have lower drip loss compared to the competition which results in more saleable meat.

Uniform carcass characteristics
Thanks to our breeding program, the Hypor Maxter shows an advantage on carcass uniformity. A more uniform carcass results in a higher value from processing. Using a 95 kg (209 lbs) carcass as an example, this translates to a bonus of 1.04 € ($1.24 USD) / per pig.
Lower drip loss
Another meat quality factor important to the industry is drip loss (the loss of liquid from carcasses during storage). In multiple trials, carcasses from Hypor Maxter finishers have lower drip loss compared to the competition. This means more saleable, tasty and tender pork.

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 and 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.
