Breeding pigs with a long history
About ACT
ACT (Avlscenter Trekanten) is a family-owned company specialised in the production of breeding pigs. Over the years, several farms have been acquired to optimise the operation of the farm business. The first family-owned farm was acquired in 1985 by the Skou Hansen family. Since then, the modernisation and optimisation of the production facilities have been an ongoing process. The latest change includes the installation of UV lighting of air moved by the ventilation to minimise the risk of airborne diseases.
Breeding with two breeds
The first multiplier farm had Yorkshire, but Duroc was subsequently acquired, so the breeding at ACT now includes two breeds. ACT has obtained a lot of experience from the many years of work with the breeding and multiplier farms. The quality of the breeding pigs reflects this experience as the customers recognise the ACT breeding pigs for a very high return on investment. Today ACT cooperates with Danish Genetics, recognised by many to have the most innovative breeding programme globally.
Own production of cereals
After acquiring the farm Nedergård with 20 hectares, further acquisitions have increased the ownership to 1100 hectares of efficient plant production. The land provides a stable supply of quality cereals every year to the home-mixed feed for the breeding pigs.
Danish and foreign customers
Today, the sales of breeding pigs from ACT allocate to both Danish and foreign customers in many countries. The superior productivity combined with solid customer relationships increases the expectations for continuous growing sales.
