We are Topigs Norsvin.

Driving Progress in Pigs for sustainable pork production.

We start with Science.
We progress through Selection.
We deliver Solutions.
We advance Sustainability impact.
We do it with Spirit.

 

For over a century, we've understood a fundamental truth: genetic progress in pigs means progress for people. As a farmer-owned cooperative, we don't breed for quarterly returns, we breed for the next generation, and the one after that.

 

About us

Science at the Heart of Genetic Progress.

We start
with Science.


Researchers exploring the frontiers of genetics,
health, nutrition, and climate impact. Every
discovery becomes a decision. Every insight
becomes an improvement. Science-driven,
fact-based.


We advance through selection.

Balanced Breeding isn't just our method, it's our promise. In state-of-the-art facilities across continents, we’re breeding future-proof pigs today: maternal lines that nurture, paternal lines that perform, and pigs engineered for resilience in environments we can't yet imagine.
