The Tempo is a boar that excels in the vitality of its progeny and is
bred from a TOPIGS E-line (Large White type). It is well known for its
vitality and feed intake.
Tempo boar offspring are fast growing, strong and robust pigs from
birth to market. The qualities of the Tempo boar progeny are:
•
very high resistance and robustness: low mortality
•
high number of live-born piglets per litter
•
strong, uniform and rapidly growing pigs
•
ideally suited for restricted-feeding and liquid-feeding
systems with by-products
•
high feed intake and high performance, even under
challenging conditions
•
excellent loins and tender meat
•
The boar is bred from the TOPIGS P-line (a Pietrain line). The
Top Pi sire is very lean and has a very high meat percentage. The boar
is completely stress-free,
which means that its progeny are vigorous. Top Pi carcasses show low
drip losses. The qualities of the Top Pi boar progeny are:
•
very high meat percentage
•
muscularity and very good conformation
•
stress-free, so low drip loss and strong piglets
•
The Talent boar is bred from the TOPIGS D-line (Duroc type).
Offspring of this boar excel in the fattening stage,
combining high feed efficiency with high carcass and meat quality. The
qualities of the Talent boar progeny are:
•
efficient: combines high daily gain with low feed conversion
•
progeny suitable for ad-lib feeding systems (dry feeders as
well as slurry feeders)
•
uniform and vigorous finishers
•
The Norsvin Duroc sire line is robust, productive
and lean, and with a 50 percent contribution to
the market hog it promotes full program product
quality.
•
Norsvin Duroc sired piglets are vital and have a high daily gain.
•
Norsvin Duroc shows an exceptional genetic trend for lean
meat
percentage and feed effi ciency, mainly due to the use of
CT-technology and FIRE stations for routine measurements.
•
Purebred Duroc boars have a 2.0 FCR in boar test (2013
results,
88 - 265 lbs, 4.3 MJ/lbs).
Norsvin retain meat quality through wide scope breeding programs and
high-tech analysis
methods. Traits as pH, IMF and
drip loss contribute to the unique full program product quality.
