Duroc and Pietran are excellent choices as terminal boars because they contribute valuable traits to market pigs.
🐖 Duroc is known for fast growth, good feed efficiency, strong performance, and excellent meat quality. When crossed with suitable females, Duroc can produce vigorous offspring with good growth and desirable carcass characteristics.
🐖 Pietran is particularly valued for its high lean-meat yield, muscularity, and excellent carcass traits. It can help produce pigs with less backfat and more lean meat.
The goal of using terminal boars is simple: produce high-performing offspring for the market, not replacement breeding stock.
👉 Choose your terminal boar based on your farm's breeding goals, market demand, and the qualities of your female line.
Smart breeding = better pigs + better carcasses + better returns.
