Press releases - Genetics and reproduction

The project is the first of its kind to combine the newest technology in the form of CT scans with slaughter information for three Danish pig breeds in Denmark in order to identify prospects for faster genetic development within the breeding goal on meat quality.

The embryo transfer has been carried out on DNA Genetics' L600 (Duroc) and L200 (LW) genetic lines, Andrimner being their exclusive distributor throughout Europe.

SPACE 2019 will be held from Tuesday 10 September to Friday 13 September at Rennes Exhibition Centre.
