R3silience provides science-proven, naturally disease-resilient pigs, enabling more predictable, sustainable production by reducing losses and sustaining growth under disease challenge.Â
Â
Â
We harness decades of breeding expertise, real-world data, and years of dedicated research to deliver naturally resilient pigs that thrive under disease pressure.
R3silience pigs are bred to withstand diseases from bacterial and viral origin.
Higher survival
R3silience pigs deliver higher survival, stronger overall performance, and healthier herds - reducing wean-to-finish mortality by up to 6 percentage points during multifactorial PRRS outbreak*.
Â
Sustained growth under challenges
R3silience pigs not only show higher survival, but also deliver superior growth, improving daily weight gain by up to 0.04lbs. per day under multifactorial PRRS outbreak.*
Â
Improved health and welfare
Pigs with enhanced resilience to both viral and bacterial diseases require fewer health interventions and up to 8% less antibiotic treatments from wean-to-finish*, supporting better animal welfare.
*Based on our research and estimated breeding value calculations.
Â
Quick effect
Enjoy the benefits of R3silience as soon as it’s introduced into your barn, with its impact compounding as adoption expands across the herd.
Â
Cumulative impact
It is not all-or-nothing: gains accrue with the use of combined R3silience dam and sire lines.
Â
Freedom to choose
Our solution respects your business: no mandatory program lock-in or full package purchase. Maintain flexibility while reaping cumulative benefits. R3silience is available for TN Tempo, TN Duroc and TN70.
Â
Reduced stress
Resilient herds require fewer health interventions and treatments, helping reduce disease-related expenses, lower labor costs, and lessen the stress of outbreaks on farm workers and production.
Â
Predictable production
A disease-resilient herd ensures more stable production even in the face of health challenges, resulting in more predictable herd-management and market forecasting.
Â
Direct antibiotic reduction
Breeding for enhanced disease resilience, including improved resilience to bacterial pathogens - the primary target of antibiotics - has direct implications for antibiotic reduction.
Â
Food security and safety
By breeding pigs for enhanced resilience to disease, rather than resistance to a specific pathogen, we avoid placing pressure on a single pathogen to mutate, reducing the risk of more virulent, lethal or resistant strains that could threaten food security and safety.
Â
Accepted by customers
Our approach is grounded in traditional breeding methods, harnessing the natural resilience of the pigs. It avoids additional regulatory hurdles - no need for government approvals, specialized supply chains, or product labeling.
Â
Lower environmental impact
Research demonstrates that breeding and selecting for disease resilience promotes efficient resource use as less feed, water, medication and other resources are needed to raise healthy pigs.
Â
Pig production is facing a rapidly evolving disease landscape. Pathogens such as PRRS continue to emerge, spread, and mutate, challenging even the most advanced control strategies. In this environment, traditional approaches are no longer enough. A more robust, future-proof solution is required—one in which genetics plays a central role.Â
Sustainable swine health can be achieved not through any single intervention, but through coherent, multi-layered strategies, built on the strongest possible biological foundation: genetic disease resilience.
