Characteristics and Genetics
The Danish Landrace, which got its start in 1895, gave rise to the American Landrace. The Large White Hog was brought to America from England at that period and bred with indigenous pigs. Following that injection, the Landrace was improved through testing and selection.
It is emphasized that the Landrace breed crosses well with other breeds. The lactation peaks in the sows at five weeks, which is a little later than it is for other breeds. The sows produce a lot of milk. They have good maternal skills and are prolific.
