Hybrid vigor in hogs shown lasting four generations
Iowa experiments at the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station indicate hybrid vigor can be maintained for at least four generations by crossing strong inbred lines with about one in ten inbred lines proving commercially viable. Dr L N Hazel outlined that returning to an original line reduces hybrid vigor, and urged expansion of good lines through seed stock production for small and large farmers alike.

Breeder Tests Show Crossbred Pigs Outperform Inbred Lines
In Ames experiments, crossbreeding Poland China Landrace and Duroc hogs boosted litter sizes and growth. The best Poland Landrace cross weighed 225 pounds at five months with feed of 10 pounds per 100 pounds gained. Inbred sows averaged 5.3 pigs per litter, crossing to 7.7 and 9 pigs with successive crosses. Experts emphasize pure breeding to form distinct line families and stress clean ground and disease control over antibiotics.
