Landrace (LL) The DanBred Landrace is one of the mother breeds in the DanBred crossbreeding program for the production of YL gilts. The Landrace offers prime slaughter quality. Due to the high fertility of DanBred Landrace, animals of this breed are often used as mother animals for YL sows, which are considered the best crossbreed sows for the production of finishers. The DanBred Landrace is a powerful pig with good legs. The breed is known for the good quality of its meat.
Yorkshire (YY) The DanBred Yorkshire breed is used as a mother breed, just like the DanBred Landrace. This breed is the best breed in relation to the production traits of daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio, lean meat percentage and also the meat quality, which is why this breed is also used (to a lesser extent however) as a father breed for finishers. The breed has good longevity and good mothering capabilities.
The production sow (LY/YL) The production sow is a first cross (F1) between a DanBred Landrace and a DanBred Yorkshire. LY/YL sows have very high fertility, good teats, high life expectancy and are very friendly.
