In pork production, the first few days of a piglet’s life set the tone for everything that comes next. If they are not strong at birth, you are already playing catch-up, and that costs time, labor, and money.
That is why more producers are turning to the TN Duroc terminal sire. Topigs Norsvin’s TN Duroc delivers what matters most in the farrowing room: stronger piglets, better survival, and less time spent on weak ones. We call it Early Phase Vitality, a built-in advantage that sets TN Duroc apart from day one and pays dividends all the way through finishing.
TN Duroc-sired piglets are born heavier, weighing up to 0.16 pounds more than their competitors, based on U.S. trials. That may not seem like much, but ask any producer who has farrowed both, and they will tell you they notice the difference right away.
Heavier piglets are more vigorous and more likely to nurse on their own. That means less time warming, feeding, or fostering weak piglets, and more uniform litters from the start. When you have strong piglets right at birth, your team can focus on managing growth, not spending hours trying to keep the smallest ones alive.
