THREE-WAY CROSSBREEDING SCHEME
Hybrid LY (F1)The production sow is a first cross (F1) between Landrace and Yorkshire. Otrada Hybrid sows have very high fertility, good teats, high life expectancy and are very friendly.
Yorkshire (YY)Yorkshire is one of the dam lines in the Otrada crossbreeding program for the production of LY gilts. Yorkshire is known for its high meat percentage, impressive daily weight gain, high feed efficiency and good meat quality. Fertility and mothering ability are excellent. Along with Landrace, Yorkshire provides the best cross-bred sows for the production of finishers with outstanding performance.

Landrace (LL)Landrace is one of the dam lines in the Otrada crossbreeding program for the production of LY gilts. Landrace is known for its high fertility, prime slaughter quality and unique meat quality. It is a strong pig with strong legs. Due to its excellent genetic potential, Landrace offers an extraordinarily high fertility, delivering large and robust litters in combination with the Yorkshire.
Duroc (DD) terminal boarThe Duroc breed makes an excellent sire line to be used with LY sows. In Denmark, there is a long tradition of mating Duroc boars (sire line) to LY sows (dam line) for finishers. With this three-breed cross, pig producers make the full use of hybrid vigor (heterosis) to obtain optimum production results, high lean meat percentage and good meat quality. For example, Duroc sired finishers have a 100 g higher daily weight gain than Piétrain sired finishers.
