Essay

In this dissertation the results of analyze of current Ukrainian system of pigs' evaluation are presented and the way for its considerable improvement is proposed. It has been established that system of evaluation of pigs' breeding value doesn't provide the proper evaluation of animals and don't give any decisive answer on the question about the selection of the most valuable animals for the further pedigree work. That is why, regardless of the positive changes in animals productivity, as well as positive genetic trend for the trait "backfat thickness" 0,002 mm annually, the efficiency of the selective work stays unsatisfactory.
