TN Duroc offspring adapt quickly to their new environment when moved to the nursery, showcasing an important aspect of Early Phase Vitality. This adaptability minimizes critical post-weaning challenges and promotes healthy growth from the outset, making life easier for both producers and workers.
For a young piglet, weaning is a significant transition. They are separated from their mother, introduced to a new environment and different feed during a crucial stage of development, while their immune system and digestive tract are still maturing. It is essential for piglets to adjust quickly, avoid health issues, and start consuming feed promptly to ensure their development remains uninterrupted.
TN Duroc offspring truly deserve the title “Easy to Start in the Nursery”. Because they are less likely to encounter problems during the farrowing phase, they emerge stronger and better develop in nursery. This resilience helps them handle challenges related to health and feed more effectively.
Early Phase Vitality, part of Topigs Norsvin’s Balanced Breeding approach, ensures a smooth transition to rearing with fewer start-up problems compared to other Duroc lines. This translates to several benefits:
As a result, TN Duroc offspring performs optimally during the rearing phase, laying the foundation for a successful transition to the finishing phase.
In summary, thanks to Early Phase Vitality, TN Duroc offspring experience a smooth transition to nursery. This means fewer health problems, less work, and uninterrupted growth, providing the perfect groundwork for the finishing phase.
