The Dutch Landrace pig (Dutch: Nederlands Landras) is a standardized breed of domestic pig originating in the Netherlands.[1] The breed was developed from the native landrace of pigs of the area, crossbred with strains from neighboring counties.[1] The Dutch Landrace is considered "a meaty and efficient breed".[1] The breed is unusually responsive to the halothane test, which can be used to weed out individuals with low projected survivability and meat production.[2]
