Summary in the original language of the document

Native pig breeds, compared to conventional commercial breeds, are characterized by various beneficial traits. In this Practice Abstract you will get to know more about these traits, receive practical recommendations as well as tipps for on-farm appliation.

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
Teaser:	Better local adaptation by crossing local native breeds with conventional commercial breeds.
What problem does the tool address?:	Pigs reared outdoors are more often subjected to unfavourable climatic conditions than pigs reared indoors. Native breeds are more adapted to the outdoor environment, compared to conventional breeds and their crossbreds, as the breeding goals of the latter have been focussed more on productivity than on dealing with adverse weather conditions.
What solution does the tool offer?:	Pigs obtained by crossing local native breeds with conventional commercial breeds are better adapted to the outdoor environment, compared to pigs of conventional breeds. They are also more efficient and productive, compared to native breeds.
