SHOW:
Integration
Feeding boars for improved longevity and lifetime productivity
Correct feeding of DanBred boars is your first step towards obtaining maximum productivity.
Integration
Boar training 2 – Evaluation of the boar
Proper boar training as well as correct semen assessment and analysis in due time, will ensure an efficient on-farm transfer of high genetic potential of DanBred.
Release potential
Prepare semen doses – correct procedures
The correct procedures in transforming the raw ejaculate into ready-to-use semen doses will maintain the uncompromised value and help unlock the full reproductive potential of DanBred genetics on farm
Release potential
Laboratory Practices – Setup good routines
A well-designed laboratory layout combined with thorough lab practices focusing on uncompromised hygiene is the backbone in producing high-quality DanBred semen doses .
Management
Cleaning practice – secure semen quality
Cleaning and disinfection are a corner stone in semen quality - focusing on correct cleaning practice is imperative to preserving the high-quality and shelf life of DanBred semen.
Release potential
Semen hygiene – Increase semen quality
Hygiene is fundamental to ensuring semen quality. The introduction of clearly defined hygiene protocols that maintain a focus on hygiene during collection will increase quality as well as shelf-life.
Release potential
Collection – Achieve full potential of semen
Proper preparation and sanitation are of the utmost importance when it comes to in the process of semen collection and an important for achieving the full value of DanBreds reproductive performance.
Integration
Boar training 1 – efficient management and handling
Correct training of DanBred boars form the basis for many successful collections in the future and represent the onset of obtaining the maximum productivity.
Integration
Transport – Effect on boar performance
The correct transport and handling of on-farm boars is of the utmost importance to release their full genetic potential, whilst also preserving the high-quality of the boars- especially their semen.
Release potential / Management
Piglet growth – Support colostrum supply
Colostrum is essential for piglet health and growth. Ensuring sufficient colostrum intake during the first 12 hours after farrowing is achieved by a disciplined approach to day 1 care of the piglets.
Release potential
Farrowing – Procedures for success
Capturing the immense production potential of the DanBred sow relies on fundamentally sound and proven management practices.
Release potential / Feeding
Weaning – The foundation for success
Successful rearing of many high-quality piglets is highly related to the transition from a milk-based diet to a solid feed diet. Correct handling will maximise daily gain and piglet growth rates.
Management
Mating – Reach reproductive success
Careful attention to heat stimulation, timing of insemination and the insemination technique can help you attain the full reproductive potential of DanBred.
Release potential / Management
Large litters – Correct handling
Success in managing hyper prolific DanBred sows is centered around piglet management. Knowing how to rear the extra piglets is essential to capture the full production potential of the DanBred female.
Management
Heat management observations – Increase productivity
DanBred breeding animals deliver extraordinary reproduction results and careful heat observation will increase insemination success and greatly contribute to optimising production flows.
Management
Quality assurance of high value breeding stock
On farm issues with umbilical outpouchings might indicate that it is time to focus on best management practice within the farrowing and piglet units.
Integration
Quarantine for high value breeding stock
Proper acclimatisation, with a well-managed quarantine period allows the breeding stock to adjust to the climate, feed, housing and management, is essential when receiving high health DanBred animals.
Integration / Management
Pregnancy testing – Worth the effort
Attain the full potential of DanBred with systematic management of on-farm pregnancy tests combined with a consequent culling strategy to optimise overall efficiency and reduce Non-Productive Days.
Integration
Health assurance of high value breeding stock
High health DanBred animals are well known for world-class performance- implementing the correct health integration strategy for the new breeding stock will ensure world-class performance on farm.
Integration
New arrivals – Inspect and assess breeding stock
High health DanBred breeding stock represent the future of the herd- proper selection and management upon arrival will help form the basis for best possible production and lifetime performance.
Integration
Semen Doses – Maximise productivity with correct handling
Artificial insemination has become a standard, especially among modern farms working with DanBred high-quality genetics. Correct handling of the semen is vital to achieve the extraordinary potential.
Release potential / Feeding
Lactation – Supporting a high number of nursing piglets
DanBred breeding animals come with an extraordinary genetic potential for reproductive performance. Focused attention on management and feeding during lactation has been proven to support piglets.
Feeding
Gestation – Keeping body condition in focus
Focusing on body condition throughout the gestation period has shown to be highly correlated to success in the farrowing unit and subsequent lifetime reproductive productivity.
