Hendrix Genetics, global multi-species animal breeding company, and BHZP, Germany s largest pig breeding company, have reached an agreement to extend their contract to start production of DB77 boars in Spain in order to fulfill the growing demand of the db.77 boars in the Spanish and Portuguese markets.
The new agreement is an extension of the earlier agreement from 2019, in which Hendrix Genetics became distributor of the BHZP boar line to strategic customers in the Iberian Peninsula. The production of the DB77 boars will take place at a nucleus facility of Hendrix Genetics in Spain where the breeding support is carried out by BHZP. It brings production closer to the clients where the product is sold, reduces biosecurity risks and avoids long term transport and related animal welfare issues. Sales of db.77 boars have grown significant after the introduction of this line by Hendrix Genetics in 2019 and this has accelerated the earlier intentions to move part of the db.
