Benefits of raising durocs verses other swine breeds?
Ok, so i have to make a poster for a contest, here is the question:
*Breed Promotion: Highlight the value of the Duroc swine in a successful swine operation
I think that means what are the benifts of raising the breed duroc rather than breeding say hampshires. For example, durocs gain more wight on a less amount of feed, there fore they neeed less feed to make a pound of muscle than other breeds.
Any helpful websites are appreciated, and helpful hints and things.
Thanks 
REDHEAD- no really?? i never thought to check google!!!!!! 
i have been looking on google for the last HOUR, i have found a page of notes, but i need more, so i am asking yahoo people. If you don’t have a full answer, please don’t waste your time answering. Thanks
Durocs tend to have a leaner meat than the other breeds…that’s about the only difference I could give you.
Oh, and they don’t sunburn as easily
