Abstract

A combined index of reproductive qualities (CIRQ) is used for evaluating the reproductive productivity of sows of different genotypes, the index V *100 for evaluating young replacement stock, and the index for evaluating fattening qualities. The best crossing variants are revealed as a result of using the index evaluations: Large White of the Grigoropolis-1 type (LW GT) × Early Maturing Meat of the steppe type (EM-1 ST) × Landrace (L); EM-1 ST × (EM-1 ST × L); and L × (EM-1 ST × L).
