Influence of breeding pig breeding on efficiency production of the industry

The article considers the problems of development of breeding pig breeding in Ukraine as a basis for the functioning of efficient and competitive commodity production. According to the results of the study, with the reform of agricultural production, commodity pig farming suffered significant losses, which had a negative impact on the efficient operation of breeding farms, especially breeders.
The main reasons for the intensification of destructive phenomena in the field of breeding pig farming are the unstable level of purchase prices for pig products, low profitability and unprofitable production. It is obvious that the organization of the domestic selection system has a significant impact on reducing the cost and increasing the profitability of pig production, ensuring the quality and competitiveness of breeding (genetic) resources. The results of scientific research show that a significant increase in productivity in pig breeding is achieved through the effect of heterosis in interbreeding, and it is proved that under favorable conditions, the effect of crossbreeding is on average live weight gain of about 10-15% and feed payment 8- 10%. It is proved that to date there has been no clear pattern of a positive trend of change in the yield of piglets per sow in breeding pigs.
Analysis of the procedure for receiving funds under the state program for partial reimbursement of the cost of breeding animals purchased for further reproduction shows that in 2017 compensation for breeding pigs and boars of domestic origin ("elite" class) was 20% of the planned due to lack of state budget funds for appropriate measures . In 2018, this amount of compensation was increased to UAH 5,000 per head.
 It was found that the unit cost of live weight of a breeding animal in 2017 was 2-2.5 times higher than in commercial pig farms. The high cost of production of breeding animals is due to higher feed costs due to components of the diet of mainly foreign production. It is obvious that the difficult financial situation determines the low investment attractiveness of the breeding pig industry for both domestic and foreign investors.
