Выведена в Дании в начале 20 века скрещиванием местных улучшенных вислоухих свиней с английскими породами, главным образом с крупной белой. Свиньи породы ландрас относятся к беконному типу свиней. В туше содержится высокое содержание постного мяса и тонкий слой подкожного шпика. Средние показатели этой породы по содержанию постного мяса в туше и меньшей толщиной шпика превосходят остальные породы на 2-5%. Пьетрен Порода свиней мясного направления продуктивности. Хряков породы пьетрен используют в промышленном свиноводстве с целью улучшения мясных качеств. Наиболее популярный трехпородный гибрид: крупная белая + ландрас + пьетрен. При скрещивании свиней породы пьетрен и дюрок мясо получается хорошего качества, при скрещивании пьетрена и ландраса свиньи обладают быстрым ростом. Отличительной особенностью пьетренов является то, что они генетически не предрасположены к накапливанию жира. Свиньи породы пьетрен очень требовательны к условиям содержания.
