Building Disease Resilience in Pigs: Why Genetics Is Changing the Game
Pig production is facing a rapidly evolving disease landscape. Pathogens such as PRRS continue to emerge, spread, and mutate, challenging ev...
Driving Progress in Pigs forÂ
sustainable pork production.
For over a century, we've understood a fundamental truth: genetic progress in pigs means progress for people. As a farmer-owned cooperative, we don't breed for quarterly returns, we breed for the next generation, and the one after that.
Â
We start with Science.
We progress through Selection.
We deliver Solutions.
We advance Sustainability impact.
We do it with Spirit.
Â
Science discovers new possibilities.
Researchers exploring the frontiers of genetics, health, nutrition, and climate impact. Every discovery becomes a decision. Every insight becomes an improvement. Science-driven, fact-based.
Selection converts discovery into genetic progress.
In state-of-the-art facilities across continents, we’re breeding future-proof pigs today: maternal lines that nurture, paternal lines that perform, and pigs engineered for resilience in environments we can't yet imagine.
Solutions bring genetic progress to farms worldwide.
The TN70—the industry's most sustainable sow. TN Tempo and TN Duroc—sire lines that redefine performance. Concepts as InGene and AIM. A global network of technical experts who don't just supply genetics, they partner in success.
Sustainability informs our contributions to a changing world.
Our pigs. Measurable, science-based impact for people and planet.
At Topigs Norsvin, sustainability is not viewed as a separate initiative, but as an integrated part of how we develop genetics, support farmers, and contribute to society.
Spirit ensures we continue improving pork production for generations to come.
The spirit of a 100-year appetite for progress that drives us forward, every single day.

Balanced Breeding isn't just our method, it's our promise. In state-of-the-art facilities across continents, we’re breeding future-proof pigs today: maternal lines that nurture, paternal lines that perform, and pigs engineered for resilience in environments we can't yet imagine.
Â
The best mother in the world.Â
A highly productive hybrid sow combining Norsvin Landrace and Z-line genetics.
Recognized for exceptional mothering ability, functional teats, and uniform, vital piglets.Â
Key benefitsÂ
Topigs Norsvin takes responsibility for breeding pigs that thrive in future production environments—stronger, healthier, and more efficient.Â
Balanced Breeding philosophyÂ
Science-driven genetic selectionÂ
Proven performance in diverse environmentsÂ
Continuous genetic progressÂ
Focus on farm profitabilityÂ
Sustainability in our DNAÂ
Modern pork production requires more than growth alone. It demands genetics that combine feed efficiency, robustness, meat quality, sow longevity, and environmental performance.Â
Our genetic portfolio delivers balanced performance across these traits, validated in diverse production systems worldwide.Â
