METHOD OF SELECTION OF BREEDING PIGS OF MEAT TYPE BREEDS Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A01K67/02 

FIELD: biotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology. Invention is a method for selecting pedigree pigs of meat type, including the evaluation and selection of animals by productive features, taking into account the age of reaching a live weight of 100 kg, where the selection of animals is estimated such indicators of sows as multi-number of piglets during weaning, the mass of the nest in 30 days, and when selecting repair young – the depth of the longest muscle of the back over the 10th rib at a point 6 cm down from the middle line of the back and the calculated yield of lean meat in the carcass at the specified live weight, at the same time, individuals with higher productive characteristics are selected for breeding, having exceeded the established minimum levels for all these indicators, and by the thickness of the fat, measured at three points of the back at a distance of 6 cm from its midline down: above 6–7 thoracic vertebrae, over the 10th rib, over the last rib and by the age of reaching a live weight of 100 kg that did not exceed the maximum established levels for none of these parameters. At the same time, when evaluating the thickness of the bacon, the depth of the longest muscle, an ultrasonic "real time" device such as AQUILA VET PRO, SonoScape is used.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase the reliability of forecasting a complex of productive indicators in young animals in the next generation.
