Analysis of data from nucleus and commercial pig herds
Last changed: 16 August 2024
Data from Swedish nucleus and commercial piglet producing herds is an important source for MSc-projects, as well as for PhD-projects.
Data from nucleus herds has been provided by the breeding company Nordic Genetics, and data from piglet producing herds (extracted from WinPig herd monitoring software) has been provided by Gård&Djurhälsan (after agreement with resp. herd owner).
