Landrace (pig)

A landrace pig is a local breed that has developed naturally over many generations in specific regions, adapting to local environmental conditions and farming practices. These pigs are usually highly resilient, with diverse genetics, making them well-suited to their native habitats. They often have unique physical traits and flavors, and are valued for their hardiness, adaptability, and traditional qualities. Unlike commercial breeds, landrace pigs are not heavily standardized or specialized, maintaining a broad genetic pool that helps them survive in local conditions and retain cultural farming practices.
