VikingDanmark, Växa Sverige and Faba in Finland, meaning that approx. 16,000 farmers are members of VikingGenetics. The secret behind the Nordic farmers’ success is their willingness to register all traits including health, which they have been doing it since the 1980s. No other country in the world has the same tradition as we have, and therefore, the Nordic health profile is unique.
