Breeding herds of breeds raised in the republic are characterized by good reproductive qualities: multiple fertility - 11-12 piglets per farrow, milk yield - 56-64 kg, the number of piglets for weaning - 10-11 piglets. Annually, pig farms and commodity farms of the republic pedigree farms can supply about 10.0 thousand breeding pigs with high genetic potential.
There are 4 breeding and genetic centers in the republic (stations for artificial insemination of pigs) whose production capacities are designed for keeping 192-240 heads. They provide 60 percent of the needs of the domestic market for sperm products of boars of different breeds (Yorkshire, Duroc, Landrace) and breeding (Danish, French, Norwegian, German, Irish), with a breeding value index of more than 110 units.
