TOPIGS produces almost 1,000,000 gilts per year and, therefore, belongs to the top three in the world. In some countries, TOPIGS is even the leading supplier of genetics in the pig sector. In fact, TOPIGS has a market share of over 85 % in the Netherlands.
TOPIGS is also a valued partner of large integrations and meat processors.
TOPIGS plays a full part in the production chain not only as a genetics supplier, but also as a partner in the chain approach and in the tracking and tracing process.
TOPIGS supplies the genetic basis for successful pig farming in the form of semen/boars and sows. The scale on which TOPIGS operates makes it possible to deliver customised solutions. Users of TOPIGS genetics can select the genetic material that best suits their farms and sales market.
Animal health is becoming increasingly important in pig farming. TOPIGS has been working on a healthy pig herd for years. A number of our international nucleus farms have the SPF status, which guarantees that the main pig diseases have been eradicated from the production process. TOPIGS also applies strict rules for all its breeding companies in order to prevent the transfer of diseases.
TOPIGS does not only supply genetics, but also genetics-related services and assistance. The service and assistance in the fields of breeding, reproduction, fertility and other matters directly related to genetics make it possible to achieve a maximum result with the TOPIGS pig, which is the highest possible quality, a maximum yield and a low cost price.
Pig farming in the 21st century is a knowledge-intensive industry. TOPIGS, through its research institute IPG, is an important centre of expertise for the entire pig production chain. IPG is at the forefront of knowledge accumulation in the areas of genetics, breeding value estimations and reproductive techniques. IPG is also a leading knowledge generator in the areas of carcass and meat quality.
