On the islands, the pigs were relatively small, densely built and with upright ears \u2013 the \u00d8-svin. In Jutland, the pigs were larger, had an elongated body and large hanging ears \u2013 the Jyske Svin.<\/p>\n<p>Danish Landrace pigs are mainly descended from the Jutland Pig stock. In 1906, a stud book of Danish Landrace boars began to be kept. Most boars were white, but a few spotted or black-and-white ones were found. During the first half of the 20th century, Danish Landrace was bred specifically for the production of bacon for the British market.<\/p>\n<p>Around 1970, the breeding goals for Danish Landrace pigs were radically changed. Growth, feed conversion, durability, fertility and meat quality were prioritized, and in the 1980s, there was also limited crossbreeding with Norwegian and Finnish Landrace. The type of Danish Landrace now bred at Danish breeding centers is therefore significantly different from the type from 1970.<\/p>\n<p>There is still a population of Landrace pigs of the 1970 type, but the population is very small. As a safeguard, semen and embryos have been collected and stored in liquid nitrogen, including a stock of deep-frozen semen from seven boars, which originate from a now defunct control line from the Tylstrup pig research station.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"522\" data-src=\"https:\/\/detgroennemuseum.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/gris-beskaaret.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full lazyload\" alt=\"\" title=\"Pig Cropped\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/detgroennemuseum.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/gris-beskaaret.jpg 685w, https:\/\/detgroennemuseum.dk\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/07\/gris-beskaaret-600x457.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/detgroennemuseum.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/gris-beskaaret-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/detgroennemuseum.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/gris-beskaaret-668x509.jpg 668w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\"  data-dt-location=\"https:\/\/detgroennemuseum.dk\/en\/viden\/den-levende-kulturarv\/svin\/gris-beskaaret\/\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 685px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 685\/522;\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e8fbf88b981\" data-id=\"69e8fbf88b981\" data-height=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"15\" data-height-tab=\"15\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"15\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"15\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1512410947918\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><b>Black and white Landrace pig<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The black-spotted Landrace pig originally comes from the old Danish country pig, but also from the Glouchester old Spot breed, which was imported in 1930.

Breeders of black-spotted pigs have not had the opportunity to breed for good slaughter quality, as they could not have their animals tested at the recognized pig testing stations.
