As a result of purposeful breeding work a perspective genotype of pigs of the Belarusian meat breed was created. This genotype combines high reproductive traits, increased growth energy at low forage spends, and allows obtaining competitive pork. Thus, breeding sows of the breed type are characterized by high indices of reproductive traits, rearing boars – by high growth energy, thin fat. A high level of fattening and meat productivity of young pigs of the breed type 'Berezinsky' in Belarusian meat breed is identified. Animals of the new breed type are well adapted to the conditions of the industrial technology of Belarus and are widely used in the republican program of crossing and hybridization.
