1.
Genetics & Genomics
Unlocking the DNA blueprint that shapes performance.
This platform focuses on genomic diversity, reference genomes, and advanced DNA technologies to identify key genetic variants associated with traits like fertility, feed efficiency, and robustness. By integrating genomic data with breeding values, we accelerate precision selection and sustainable genetic gain.
2.
Reproduction & Fertility
Improving reproductive success across generations.
Research here explores the genetic and physiological factors influencing conception, litter size, semen quality, and fertility traits, helping producers achieve consistent and predictable reproductive performance in both sows and boars.
3.
Health & Behavior
Breeding pigs that are resilient and thriving.
This platform investigates genetic influences on disease resistance, robustness, and animal behavior — including automatic video phenotyping to understand traits like posture and activity. Advancements here help produce pigs that cope better with environmental and health challenges, benefiting welfare and farm performance.
4.
Nutrition
Linking feeding strategies to genetic potential.
Nutrition research optimizes diets to match the evolving genetic potential of modern pigs — ensuring efficient growth, health, welfare, and robust performance throughout the lifecycle. Integrated nutrition strategies help unlock the full productive and reproductive potential of genetically advanced animals.
