The research work was performed according to the research program of NAAS №30 "Pigbreeding". </em><em>Evaluation of repair pigs on indicators of own productivity and sows on signs of reproductive qualities was carried out taking into account the following parameters: age of achievement of live weight of 100 kg, days; fat thickness at the level of 6-7 thoracic vertebrae, mm; the thickness of the fat at the midpoint of the back between the withers and buttocks, mm; thickness of lard on the sacrum, mm; torso length, cm; fertility, heads; nest weight at the time of weaning at the age of 28 days, kg, safety,%.</em> <em>The BLUP index (maternal line) was calculated according to the general model of a single animal (P.A. Vashchenko, 2019), the reproductive quality index (IRQ) - according to the method of I.P. Sheiko and others. (2006), the index of alignment (homogeneity) of the sow’s nest by live weight of piglets at the time of their birth (IHN<sub>0</sub>) - according to the method of V.I. Khalak (2012), coefficients of phenotypic consolidation (K<sub>1</sub>, K<sub>2</sub>) - according to the method of Yu.P. Polupan (2005), biometric processing of research results - according to the methods of G.F. Lakin (1990).</em> <em>It was found that repair pigs of different classes of distribution according to the BLUP index according to the age of reaching live weight of 100 kg and fat thickness at the level of 6-7 thoracic vertebrae (maternal line) belong to the class "elite". According to the main indicators of reproductive qualities (multiplicity, heads, milk yield, kg, nest weight at the time of weaning, kg) sows of class </em><em>М<sup>+</sup></em><em> significantly outperform peers of the opposite class of </em><em>М<sup>-</sup></em><em> by 7.93%. The use of animals of this group provides additional products at the level of +4.71%.</em> <em>The coefficients of phenotypic consolidation </em><em>(К<sub>1</sub>, К<sub>2</sub>)</em><em> on the indicators of own productivity of repair pigs and signs of reproductive qualities of sows range from -0.368 to +0.315. The presence of significant correlations between the characteristics of reproductive qualities and integrated indicators </em><em>(IHN<sub>0</sub>, IRQ, BLUP) in Landrace pigs indicates the effectiveness of their use in breeding.</em></p&gt;}, number={1 (40)}, journal={Bulletin of Sumy National Agrarian University.
