Genetics

Figen genetics creates potential to produce economically efficient slaughter pigs with large carcasses and high lean meat content. Figen’s focus is on healthy and efficient genetics that performs well in all production systems.

The functionality of Figen genetics materializes in the vital and uniformly sized large commercial pig litters. Our durable sows mother litters well. Sufficiently large litters with each piglet having desirable daily gain, feed conversion and meat percentage are factors, that will create a noticeable benefit for pig farms. Figen’s genetics will provide a solution with a clear economical advantage.

In addition to production and meat quality traits, also pig’s temper is an important character in commercial pork production. All Figen breeding pigs grow up with tails intact, and this is indirect selection against tail biting and for ‘friendly behavior’.
