Gorin (Belgorod state agrarian University) and specialists of the APC “Gorin collective Farm” (Belgorod region, Bessonovka village) developed an innovative project to create in the Belgorod region intra-breed type of pigs of a large white Breed. This project is planned to be implemented within the framework of the scientific and production platform “Selection and genetic research, cell technologies and genetic engineering: animal husbandry” using modern genetic methods and approaches. Due to the introduction, development and practical use of high-tech methods of breeding work, it is planned to create a type of large white breed pigs that can compete with the best foreign breeding achievements by 2025, not only in terms of productivity, in particular, obtaining from one sow per year up to four tons of pork in live weight, but also, most importantly, to consistently show the effect of heterosis when used in hybridization programs.
