Smooth Transition to
a Strong Finisher Phase

The saying “well begun is half done” certainly applies pig production. A solid start in the finishing phase not only influences the overall success in performance, but it also impacts the financial performance of pork production.

This strong foundation begins early: TN Duroc offspring have a robust start in the farrowing pen that extends into the nursery. Thanks to Early Phase Vitality, TN Duroc piglets are born strong and develop well in their first weeks of life making them less susceptible to diseases and ensuring they leave the nursery in good health. As a result, they can withstand challenges more effectively later on.

Smooth transition with TN Duroc

TN Duroc pigs transition to new environments and diets more smoothly than other Duroc pigs. The smooth transition allows them to quickly resume feed intake while maintaining steady growth. This results in several key advantages:

• Quickly resume feed intake: the smooth transition to a finisher diet minimizes growth interruptions.
• Consistent growth: stable growth helps maintain momentum during the finishing phase.
• Less stress: reduces health issues and supports higher survival rates.
• High feed efficiency: better feed conversion boosts overall productivity.
• Less labour: fewer problematic animals reduce the workload and enhances efficiency.
