Search by Breed Crossbred

Crossbred pigs are the result of intentionally combining two or more distinct breeds to create animals with enhanced traits. This process, called hybrid vigor, leads to pigs that are often healthier, faster-growing, and more resilient than purebreds. Crossbreeding is a foundational strategy in modern pork production, helping optimize both efficiency and meat quality.

Crossbreds can vary in size, appearance, and temperament depending on the breeds used. They are valued for their versatility, strong performance under different farming conditions, and ability to balance traits like growth rate, hardiness, mothering ability, and carcass quality.
