NEW PLANT LINES OF PIGS OF BELARUSIAN LARGE WHITE BREED
Indicators of two plant lines of pigs of Belarusian large white breed were studied, specialized in high reproductive traits (Svat 3487 and Drachun 562), created in conditions of agricultural branch of SGC Zadneprovsky of OJSC Orshansky KHP. It has been determined that pigs of Svat 3487 and Drachun 562 lines in terms of fattening and meat traits surpassed the average indicator for SGC Zadneprovsky. Indicators of young breeding animals of Svat 3487 and Drachun 562 lines meet the target standard. Certain correlation of RTI (reproduction traits index) with genotype of the ESR gene has been established.
