Equipped with the latest technologies in biosecurity, environmental management, and animal welfare, this state-of-the-art facility is set to become a benchmark for the industry. During the inaugural visit, guests experienced first-hand innovative solutions implemented, such as positive-pressure filtration and ventilation systems, precision management, standardized practices, and integrated data management for optimal traceability.
“The establishment of the Hendrix Huanshan Nucleus Farm is the result of determined collaboration with Huanshan group. Together, we are creating local value for Chinese producers by uniting global genetic expertise with an operational model designed for China’s realities.” said Chen Ji, Managing Director Hendrix Genetics China. “The farm has already received its first shipment of 1,000 high-health sows, laying the foundation for robust local production and genetic progress.”

A highlight of the inauguration event was the guided tour of the Hendrix Huanshan Nucleus Farm, where participants observed the real-world application of the innovative solutions discussed during the forum. This immersive experience bridged theory and practice, strengthening the confidence of industry stakeholders in the sector’s ability to meet future challenges.
A collective drive for a sustainable industry
The launch of the swine nucleus farm marks a pivotal step in the partnership between Hendrix Genetics Swine and the Huanshan Group, laying the foundation for a long-term collaboration in support of a more efficient, healthier, and environmentally responsible swine industry. Hendrix Huanshan Nucleus Farm is committed to building a better future for swine production in China.
The nucleus farm in China is one of several significant achievements realized within the first year following the merger of Hendrix Genetics and Danish Genetics to form Hendrix Genetics Swine. In addition, the launch of NEXUS 100 – the first post-merger product to unite the proven breeding philosophies of Hypor and Danish Genetics – further underscored the strong operational integration and combined technical expertise now driving the unified swine breeding organization
