Genetics
The genetics behind Heyde Hoeve are based on a carefully developed crossbreed with Duroc at its foundation. This Cross-Duroc programme combines the renowned marbling of the Duroc breed with a more balanced fat profile, resulting in pork with exceptional flavour, tenderness and juiciness.
By combining the strengths of multiple breeds, we have created a strong and healthy pig that delivers consistent quality while contributing to genetic diversity. The result is a sustainable breeding programme that benefits both animal health and farming performance.
Social Animals
At Heyde Hoeve, our pigs are raised in a carefully managed farming system with a strong focus on animal welfare and transparency. They have access to natural daylight, ample space and professional care throughout every stage of their lives.
Pigs are highly social animals. That is why they are raised and housed in groups, allowing natural social behaviour while ensuring a respectful and animal-friendly environment. Our farmers care for their animals with attention, responsibility and pride.
Short Supply Chains
Heyde Hoeve actively contributes to a more circular and future-proof pork industry. By-products from the food industry are reused in feed programmes, while local suppliers and service providers help us keep supply chains short and efficient.
Shorter supply chains help reduce CO₂ emissions and strengthen local partnerships. In addition, modern biological air filtration systems in our barns help improve air quality by reducing ammonia, odours and fine dust particles. Through practical innovation and responsible farming, we continue to invest in a more sustainable future for premium pork production.
