Total Swine Genetics is proud to supply maternal lines from the following companies:
FOCUSED ON WHAT MATTERS
THE MOTHER EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT
The Gold Standard. The DNA Line 241 is the engine of any sow farm delivering dependable and proven results for producers. Her strong mothering capabilities result in high-quality, consistent litters with heavy wean weights, making her the most efficient mother in the industry. Already today, she has proven to wean 32+ superior pigs per sow per year that remain uniform through finishing. But that’s not all. Her feed efficiency and ability to reenter the herd post-weaning make her the preferred choice for producers wanting to maximize on their bottom lines.
That’s not all. The DNA Line 241 is on target to deliver 14 pigs that are 14 pounds at 21 days of weaning – each and every litter! 
A cross between purebred Yorkshire and Landrace lines is the foundation for the DNA Line 241 gilt. Each line is undergoing continuous genetic improvement for those traits that support achieving 14|14|21 including industry-leading pig survivability and robustness, weaning the pigs she actually produces at higher wean weights and contributing to the grow-finish performance of her offspring.
With research access to 71,000 DNA Line 241 sows and 2 million full-program offspring, we know how our program works. As the only swine genetics provider with a commercial swine production sister company, we’re able to measure genetic improvement in a commercial environment.

Hypor Libra*
A cross between the Hypor Landrace and Hypor Large White; the Hypor Libra* is the most efficient sow and she gives you the highest quality piglets that easily become valuable finishers. The balance between the sow’s prolificacy and reproductive efficiency results is a commercial sow that produces and weans a high number of uniform piglets per year, without compromising her ability to produce the next litter. The Hypor Libra* will excel in any housing system because of selection for strong feet and legs and calm temperament in our breeding program. Hypor is setting the standard in sustainable swine breeding by providing a sow with efficient lifetime productivity of quality offspring.
BioHypor
BioHypor is an advanced self-replacement system that is designed for customers who want to have a high level of biosecurity and achieve constant genetic progress through direct links to the Hypor database and Hypor-controlled boar studs. This is done through a one-time delivery of purebred gilts (Large White or Landrace) to establish a mini-nucleus within a farm. These purebreds will maintain the purebred population and generate the F1 (crossbred) sow for commercial production.
EasyHypor
EasyHypor is a less intensive form of BioHypor, where there is no direct link to the Hypor database. There is still a one-time delivery of purebred gilts to maintain the purebred and create the F1 (crossbred) populations, but information from the database is not used to make mating decisions. You can still expect a high level of biosecurity and steady genetic progress with this system.
