Danish pigs — in a class of their own
Danish pigs are recognised for their high quality. All animals originate from Danish genetics and are free of trichinella and the halothane gene.
World-class Danish genetics
Danish producers primarily use two crossbreeding methods: LY/YL sows with Duroc boars, or zigzag crossbreeding, alternating between Landrace and Yorkshire lines. This delivers maximum hybrid vigour and high meat quality.
Danish pork has been declared free of hormones, heavy metals and pesticides since 1985. This is one of the reasons why Danish pigs are in demand throughout Europe.

High health status and documented animal welfare
Health status is documented via the SPF system (including BLUE and RED classification) for breeding and piglet herds. A status of "Unknown" means that the herd does not participate in the voluntary SPF-SuS registration — not that conventional production is involved.
All our suppliers comply with Danish animal welfare legislation and ensure proper conditions throughout the entire production chain. We require either SPF-SuS registration or another documented health status for all pigs we handle.
