Keywords: reproductive qualities, sow, multifertility, high fertility, conservation, piglet, nest weight, growth.

Abstract

The article studied the productive qualities of sows of the main maternal breeds of Great White and Landrace of Irish origin under the purebred version of their breeding and direct and backcrossing. It was established that the total number of piglets in the nest at birth and multifertility of sows depended more on breeding methods, while high fertility depended on the breed of the mother. The difference between the sows of the Great White and Landras breeds under purebred breeding was 0.64% in terms of multifertility in purebred breeding and 0.66% in crossbreeding. While the difference between the purebred variant of breeding and crossing animals of these breeds reached 2.6%. At the same time, the weight of the litter of piglets at birth depended both on the breed of the mother and on the breeding method. The interbreed difference in the level of manifestation of this trait was 1.4–3.7% for purebred breeding and crossbreeding, respectively. The difference in the value of this trait between the purebred version of breeding and crossbreeding was 6.7–9.2%. It was proved that the survival of piglets before weaning depended more on the breed of sows, while their number in the nest at the time of weaning, individual weight and weight of the nest during this period depended more on the breeding method. Thus, the advantages of sows of the landrace breed over their large white counterparts in terms of preservation amounted to 0.5–1.2%, at the same time, the difference was 0.1–0.5% for different breeding options of these breeds. The difference in the number of piglets at weaning between animals with different breeding methods was 2.4–3.2%, and between sows of the original breeds for both breeding options was only 0.1–0.8%. The difference in individual live weight of piglets at the time of weaning was 4.2–5.8% for different methods of breeding animals of the original breeds, while the interbreed difference was 1.4–2.9% for purebred breeding and crossing, respectively. At the same time, the interbreed difference in weight of the litter of piglets at weaning was 1.4% for purebred breeding and 3.7% for their crossbreeding, and the difference between the purebred version of breeding and crossing animals of these breeds was 6.7–9.2%. It was determined that the breeding method had a greater influence on the growth of piglets in the weaning period than the breed of the dams. Average daily gains of sows depended by 1.8–2.5% on the breed of the sow and by 6.8–7.7% on the breeding method. Which caused the difference in absolute gains between the two breeds for purebred breeding to be 2.5% and for crossbreeding to be 0.8%. At the same time, the difference according to this indicator between the purebred version of breeding and crossing for both breeds amounted to 6.8–5.0%. And as a result, the interbreed difference in the average weight of one piglet when weaned for purebred breeding amounted to 2.9%, and when crossing – 1.4%. At the same time, the difference for this trait between the purebred version of breeding and crossbreeding was 5.8% for the large white breed, and 4.2% for the landrace breed. It was established that the reproductive qualities of sows depended more significantly on the method of breeding than on the breed of the sow. Thus, the difference between sows of the main maternal breeds in the value of complex indices for purebred breeding amounted to 0.1–0.4%, and when they were crossed, it was only 0.1%. At the same time, the difference according to the complex indices, which were calculated for purebred breeding and crossing of the respective breeds, was 3.5–4.1% in the large white breed and 3.42–4.0% in the landrace breed.
