In the thesis, theoretical and practical material on productivity and breeding value of the Ascanian crossbred rams with the various selection methods is pre-sented. It has been found that inbreeding by a special selection of pairs and suffi-cient feeding of full value does not cause phenomenon of the inbreeding depres-sion in mechanisms forming natural resistance of the organism and is an effective method of creating prominent genotypes of high breeding value in the ram pro-ducing core of the Ascanian crossbreds. Selection effect with the use of the inbred rams is higher as compared to the outbred rams, heritage indices of the main se-lected characters being high (h2 = 0.552…0.737).
