Smooth Transition to
a Strong Finisher Phase

The saying “well begun is half done” certainly applies to the finishing phase of pig production. A solid start in the finishing phase is crucial and significantly impacts both the overall success of the finishing phase and the financial performance of pork production as a whole. 
TN Duroc offspring have a robust beginning in the farrowing pen that extends into the nursery. This is attributed to Early Phase Vitality. Because piglets are born strong and continue to develop well during their first weeks of life, they are less susceptible to diseases and complete the nursery period in good health. As a result, they can withstand challenges more effectively.

Smooth transition with TN Duroc

Additionally, TN Duroc pigs transition more smoothly to new environments and diets compared to other Duroc pigs. This allows them to quickly resume feed intake after moving to the finishing phase and maintain steady growth. This results in several key advantages:

• Quickly resume feed intake:
  Smooth transition to finisher diet, minimizing growth interruptions.
• Consistent Growth:
  Stable growth helps maintain momentum during the finishing phase.
• Less stress:
  Reduced stress decreases health issues and supports higher survival rates.
• High feed efficiency:
  Better feed conversion boosts overall productivity.
• Less labor:
  Fewer problematic animals, reducing the workload and enhancing efficiency.
