In this paper results of the studies carried out by different authors relating to the concept of robust pigs, robustness being the trait of the breeding goal or breeding to achieve robustness, are presented. Robust pigs represent one of the current topics in pig breeding. Certain researchers have defined three new traits which relate to robustness and included them into the profit equation in production of fattening pigs. The duration of productive life is one of the traits which define robustness. There are also difficulties connected to this trait, its measuring in commercial herds and possibilities of improvement.
