Nucleus herd with homebred grandparent gilts

With EgoPlus the farm forms a completely closed system. No animal movements take place, so herd health remains stable and protected. The sow herd consists of approx. 90% hybrid sows and approx. 10% pure-bred breeding stock. A small proportion of matings for the pure-bred breeding stock are pure-line (e.g. db.03 x db.03), while the majority are crossbreed matings to produce hybrid sows (db.01 with db.03). The genetic progress of the entire breeding company is transferred to the farm via the semen. This form of homebred restocking is only suitable for larger herds.
