As a reminder, as part of the support provided to producers by the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries with regard to high-performance pig breeds, Westend Farms SA, received some fifty piglets (NAIMA) in September 2014. Five years later, the company has succeeded in boosting its production, especially with the germplasm support offered by TOPIGS NORSWING.
