The data thus obtained guarantee the genetic development of subjects able to satisfy the needs of the entire production chain, with particular regard to PDO productions, without penalizing the production of fine cuts. Research, development and choice of the genetic objectives of these lines are carried out exclusively in Italy, thanks to the fundamental collaboration with national slaughtering and processing industries, which allow a constant three-weekly feedback on the field of the work performed. This is an essential prerequisite for guaranteeing constant supplies and a high technical and health standard.ДЄt the production pyramids dedicated to female genetics, Gorzagri has its own two male line nuclei, one conventional in Riese Pio X (TV) and one PRRS negative in Pezzol (BL) for a total of about 600 sows of the Goland male line. All Goland breeders are produced and selected exclusively in Italy and in genetic centres owned by Gorzagri.

In summary, the main characteristics of the Goland pig are the following: genetically developed carcasses based on the specific requirements of the Italian slaughtering industry uniformity both in terms of breeding performance and carcass quality improved feed conversion even in animals raised with rationed feeding and with the addition of large quantities of serum robustness, survival and resistance to health stress. The productive aim of the male line and our work of improving genetics is to have a top quality 160/170 kg live weight heavy Italian pig that allows a high yield, both on the farm and in the slaughterhouse. The final result of our selection programs translates into a constant increase in weaned piglets, provided that this also implies a real reduction in the cost of production of the piglets sold.

The productive aim of the Goland female line is not solely to obtain the largest possible number of piglets.
