It was concluded that by crossing the Yorkshire x Pietrain breeds, a young swine breed has been fetched, defined by a more advanced intensive growth; made by boars and sows similar to Landrace breed resulting in a bigger body mass of the studied swine family at the age of two months, explained by the manifestation of the heterosis phenomenon.
