Topigs SNW is starting up an SPF A.I. station in Germany. The German subsidiary of Topigs has taken over the Stockhausen A.I station in the east German federal state of Saxony.

Topigs SNW has grown in just a few years to become one of the most important providers of genetics on the German market. The market share in sows is more than 10%. With the setting up of Stockhausen A.I. station, Topigs is taking the next step in the introduction of terminal boars onto the German market.
