In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were analyzed productivity indexes of sows of different families and family groups and their compatibility with male pigs of different lines of Belarusian meaty breed and Landras. On the basis of the realized research it was marked, that according to the number of piglets in a litter and multiple pregnancy distinctions between breeding sows of Landras breed and Belarusian meaty there was not observed. From sows of both breeds in average per farrowing there was obtain 11,0 - 11,2 piglets, including 10,4 - 10,5 live piglets, that exceeded requirements of the first class of the instruction on evaluation of pigs on 4,0 - 5,0%. At the same time, sows of the Belarusian meaty breed had litter weight at weaning in 40 days of 104 kg, that was authentically higher on 8 kg or on 8,3% (Р less than 0,001), than sows of Landras breed. In each breed there were some distinctions in sow productivity by families and in breeding with boars of different lines.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were analyzed the doses and efficiency of application of selenium in composition of a mixed fodder KP-2 in diets of bull calves of at their breeding for meat. In course of the study the was developed a formula of a mixed fodder with various doses (0,1; 0,2; 0,3 mg per 1 kg of a dry matter of a ration) of selenium; there was studied the influence of different selenium doses in mixed fodders on palatability of diets, their digestibility, use of nutritive elements and hematological indexes of animals. Also, there was analyzed the influence of different doses of selenium on bull calves growing intensity. There was given the zootechnical and economic evaluation of usage of selenium for bull calves. Selenium dose of 0.2 milligram per 1 kilogram of dry matter proved to be the most efficient and promoted the increasing of average daily body weight gain on 10.9%.
