TN70: the No. 1 sow in the world

The TN70 parent sow has become the number 1 sow in the world

In 2015 JSR Genetics linked with Topigs Norsvin, the world’s most innovative pig genetics company.  That same year the TN70 was introduced, and we can now report that the parent sow has now become the No.1 sow in the world!

One in four sows in the world is a TN70

Currently, almost one out of four sows in the world is a TN70. Today, everybody is talking about balanced breeding, but it is the success of combining 41 different traits that are linked to the TN70 breeding goals that made the TN70 so successful. Merging the Norsvin Landrace and the Z-line almost 10 years ago was the starting point of combining two perfect worlds.

Renowned for large litters of thriving piglets

The TN70 is renowned in the UK for producing large litters of heavy, vigorous piglets with high survival rates from birth to market. This is a result of the pioneering work on genetic improvement of piglet survival which started more than 20 years ago.

Robustness is key

As with all JSR Genetics’ products, robustness is a key factor in the breeding program. The results from our customer’s farms and from trials confirm our success: TN70 shows consistently lower sow mortality rates than the competition.

TN70 gilts have sufficient teats to nurse their piglets and are placid and careful mothers. Talking to customers, it’s the easy handling of the sow and her mothering ability that make the difference. How the TN70 takes care of her own piglets is mentioned many times when we talk to our customers.
