Great Canadian Swine Exports has the staff and the expertise to provide you with the World - Class Canadian Swine Genetics you need for profitable pork production in your country. We have access to the premier purebred breeding herds in Canada as well as providing F1 stock from multiplier herds. Canadian Swine health is noted around the world as the highest available.

Breeds available:

Duroc: This breed is noted for its superior meat quality. Interstitial fat (fat within the muscle) gives great flavour & texture when purebred Duroc is used as a terminal sire.

Yorkshire: Tremendous mothering ability and great legs make this breed the breed of choice to cross with the prolific Landrace breed in an F1 program.

Landrace: This long, white, prolific breed is the natural mate for use in a cross-breeding program with Yorkshire to produce the prolific F1 York X Landrace gilt. These single-cross females are the most popular commercial sows in Canada.

Canadian Swine Genetics: Canadian purebred breeders have co-operated for over 50 years in a testing program that is second to none in the world. This system, operated by the Canadian Center for Swine Improvement (CCSI) in Ottawa keeps records on close to 10,000 nucleus sows across Canada. Using the latest in BLUP technology, CCSI provides selection data to swine breeders to make the best decisions to improve their genetics.
