The millionth piglet was born at the Titan-Agro pig farm

A separate subdivision of Titan-Agro LLC, the Petrovsky pig farm, is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2021. During the operation of the complex, more than a million piglets were born here.

The first piglet was born in Petrovsky in March 2012, the millionth one was born nine years later. Let us explain that on average, one sow brings at least 12 piglets, and the record recorded by titanium breeders was 22 babies.

Today, the total number of pigs in the complex exceeds 60,000 pigs, represented by Large White (Yorkshire), Duroc and Landrace breeds. Hybrids of these breeds have a high growth rate and excellent MEAT qualities. The pig-breeding facility of the Group of Companies "Titan" belongs to the IV compartment - farms with the highest degree of biological protection.

The pig farm continues to update genetics, which began in 2019. Instead of the Irish company Hermitage Genetics, which left the market, the Canadian company GENESUS Genetics has become a supplier of new purebred animals. Her breeding farm is located in the Voronezh region. In 2021, 117 animals will become new residents of the pig farm - 90 queens and 27 boars will be purchased. The first batch of 55 pigs has already arrived in Omsk and after quarantine, adaptation and all necessary veterinary measures will be introduced into the main herd. A complete update of the livestock genetics will be completed in 2023.
