The Norwegian Landrace breed originates from Danish Landrace,
but contains also traces of Large White (Epstein & Bichard, 1984).
Therefore, its body conformation type and productivity are close to
those of the Danish Landrace. The Norwegian Landrace pigs have a
long and narrow body similar to all Landrace pigs. Pigs of this breed
have a thin subcutaneous fat layer, large hams and high muscularity
in the carcass.
