Balanced Breeding Program

Figen genetics creates the potential to produce sufficiently large litters. Figen genetics will deliver economically efficient commercial pigs with large carcasses and high lean meat content.

The main Figen strength is the healthy, large and efficient commercial pig – live weight at 125-130 kg. Our commercial pigs will not gain excess backfat in the final stages of finishing. Feed conversion and daily gain are on an efficient level, thus enabling economically sound production.

With our high meat percentage, it is be possible to increase slaughter yields and meat quality. Figen’s F1 sows create potential to produce 1500 kg of red meat per year – measured from slaughter weight.

Figen's goal is to produce genetics with sufficiently large litters. While we target to improve litter size constantly, we still want every additional piglet to become an efficient and highly productive finisher, whose meat quality is second to none.
