One year after the merger, driving the future of swine production

One year ago, Hypor and Danish Genetics joined forces under the name Hendrix Genetics Swine with a clear mission: to create the most comprehensive and forward-thinking swine breeding program in the world. This merger was more than combining two companies. It was about reshaping the future of pork production for farmers all around the world.

A Portfolio That Empowers Farmers

Today, our portfolio is unmatched in its diversity. We offer genetic lines that deliver maximum efficiency for high-output systems, as well as robust breeds for challenging environments. Farmers can choose genetics that prioritize meat quality or meat quantity, depending on their market demands. This flexibility means every farmer can find the right solution for their unique goals. Whether that’s premium pork for discerning consumers or cost-effective production for competitive markets, we have the right product that suits your operations

Listening to Farmers, Backed by Data

In our first year, we didn’t just expand but analyzed. Through extensive market studies and performance data, we mapped farmer priorities across regions. We learned where efficiency drives profitability, where robustness ensures security, and where meat quality wins consumer trust. This knowledge allows us to match the right genetics to the right market, ensuring farmers get the best possible return on investment.

Profitability and Sustainability Hand in Hand

Modern farming faces two challenges: staying profitable and staying sustainable. Our breeding programs tackle both. By improving feed efficiency, health, and resilience, we help farmers reduce costs and environmental impact. At the same time, we maintain high standards for animal welfare and meat quality. That is because sustainability isn’t just about the planet, but about people and products too.

Leading the Industry Forward

This merger gave us more than scale. It gave us strength. With combined expertise, global reach, and cutting-edge research and development, Hendrix Genetics Swine is setting new benchmarks for genetic innovation. Our vision is clear: to help farmers succeed today while preparing them for the demands of tomorrow.
