Easy to Start in Nursery
with TN Duroc

Weaning is a significant transition; piglets 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 develop better in the nursery. This resilience allows them to handle challenges related to health and feed more effectively.

Trouble-free Start with Early Phase Vitality

Early Phase Vitality, part of Topigs Norsvin’s Balanced Breeding approach, ensures a smooth transition to the nursery with fewer start-up problems compared to other Durocs. This translates to several benefits:

• Fewer health issues, resulting in lower veterinary costs.
• Faster achievement of maximum feed intake capacity, which promotes uninterrupted growth and enhanced health.
• Fewer disruptions in production, requiring less input from farm staff.
• No delays in development, maintaining high uniformity and laying a strong foundation for good carcass quality. 

As a result, TN Duroc offspring perform optimally during the nursery phase, laying the foundation for a successful transition to the finishing phase.

Summary

Thanks to Early Phase Vitality, TN Duroc offspring experience a smooth transition to nursery. This means uninterrupted growth, fewer health complications, and less labour; providing the perfect foundation for the finishing phase.
