More and more people want the right genetics: this is why the Hott breeding farm has switched from Danish to Swiss genetics

Johannes Hott from Königswald in Hessen is a gilts multiplier.
Since 2020, he and his father Siegfried have been producing 7,000 crossbred sows with Swiss damline genetics every year.

Society’s demands on pig farming are increasing. At the same time, it needs to be economical. There is increasing demand for the right genetics. That is why he has switched from Danish to Swiss genetics.

Robust legs, good longevity, suckling and behavior of sows are optimal since we started working with SUISAG genetics. Our customers have weaned 32 piglets with this sow and are delighted. Johannes Hott, gilts multiplier Hott Zuchtschweine, Germany
