Feeding and nutrition guide – Piglets and commercial pigs
The AlphaGene commercial pig is the result of a prolific sow selected for its growth performance and a Duroc male that stands out for its growth speed, feed efficiency and meat quality. The animals resulting from this cross are efficient, have optimal protein deposits, and remain robust through rearing, limiting losses which results in profitability throughout the nursery and growing periods. This cross meets the needs of the entire pork industry, including, producers, processors, and consumers.
The following guide provides the feeding recommendations to take full advantage of the genetic potential of AlphaGene commercial pigs.
