Abstract

Objective. To analyze the current state of breeding pig farming in Ukraine, to determine the distribution of existing breeds by region, the number of boars and sows in the breed, their affiliation to the corresponding genealogical formation, and the possibility of breeding by lines with an assessment of the main livestock population according to fattening and meat characteristics, which will make it possible to determine the main ways to preserve the domestic breeding base and improve breeds according to the main selection characteristics. Methods. Analytical, zootechnical, statistical. The analysis used data from the State Register of Breeding Entities in Animal Husbandry for 2024 and summary reports on the bonitation of pigs of the corresponding breeds for 2024. Results. At the beginning of 2025, breeding pig farming was concentrated in 15 of Ukraine's 24 regions and numbered 291 main boars and 10,285 main sows belonging to the Large White, Duroc, Landrace, Pietrain, Poltava Meat, and Welsh breeds. At the same time, the most numerous breeds in terms of basic boars and sows were and remain Large White and Landrace, while the rest can be classified as rare. The largest number of basic sows are kept in breeding farms in the Lviv (4,512 heads), Poltava (1,657 heads), and Ternopil (1,095 heads) regions. Breeding pig farming does not play a significant role in production in the Cherkasy and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. An analysis of the genealogical structure of the studied pig breeds as of January 1, 2025, showed clear breeding according to classic lines and families only in a few herds of the Poltava meat, the Red White-belted, and Welsh breeds, as well as in separate herds of the Large White breed. The vast majority of boars and sows in the Large White and Landrace breeds are of foreign origin, with their line or family affiliation confirmed only by the last digits of their working number. A significant part of breeding farms does not distribute boars by lines at all, and sows by families, which calls into question the animals' belonging to breeding stock. The evaluation of boars and sows of the Large White, Duroc, Landrace, Pietrain, and Welsh breeds based on the quality of their offspring shows that the existing gene pool is not inferior to foreign genotypes, although a significant part of breeding entities do not distinguish between controlled fattening of pigs and conventional fattening, as a result of which some indicators do not correspond to reality. Conclusions. To improve the productivity of pigs in breeding farms, especially in breeding reproductors, it is necessary to more actively publicize the results of the activities of the best breeding entities in pig breeding and to sell young animals with high breeding value. It is advisable to revive the activities of the breed council in order to bring order to the genealogical structure of breeds, determine the directions of selection for each farm, and provide advice to breeding specialists. In order to preserve the breeding base of domestic pig breeding, it is necessary to harmonize legislation with EU requirements, or at least amend the existing legislation.

Keywords: pigs, breeds, range, livestock, genealogical structure, lines, families, productivity.
