15/02/2022 Pigs KI Twenthe can now also supply semen from DanBred boars to its members. An agreement was signed with DanBred and KLASSE KI at the beginning of February.
With this agreement, customers of the Twente cooperative now have access to semen from DanBred Duroc boars. In the initial phase, DanBred Duroc semen will be supplied by KI Twenthe via KLASSE KI from Sint-Oedenrode. Over time, the collaboration may be expanded to include housing DanBred boars in Fleringen.
DanBred and Varkens KI Twenthe are excited to begin this collaboration. KI Twenthe also aims to provide its members with DanBred genetics, should they wish to use them, and DanBred Netherlands is happy to facilitate this.
Sanne Oudhof, Manager of Boars at KI Twenthe, said: “For over fifty years, our cooperative has been supplying semen from the best breeding and terminal boars from various breeding organisations to our members in the Twente region. Our members want to use the best genetics, and our cooperative ensures that these genetics are made available to them.”
John Nijhoff, DanBred Netherlands, said: “The Twente region is an important area with many professional pig farmers who together produce around 8% of the Dutch pig population. Through our collaboration, members now also have access to the highly efficient DanBred Duroc genetics via the Twente cooperative.”
