Abstract [eng] The whole pig breeding is organized and coordinated by the State Pig Breeding Station comprising three departments and the control- assistant service. On a national level, pig breeding work is controlled by the State Pig Breeding Supervision service by the Ministry of Agriculture. Search and introduction of more progressive selection methods become very important due to increased demand for leanness, high quality and profitable pork. Therefore a purpose of this article is to review pigs selection methods, applied and foreseen to implement in Lithuania. Progressive experience of European Union and other countries shows that when speeding selection process of pigs, raised in breeding centres of Lithuania, towards improving their biological and farming (economical) qualities, besides omni- valued feeding and adequate housing conditions, the following is also necessary: to use boars and sows that were positively evaluated by the methods of control fattening and slaughtering (progeny test). Together with this method it is purposeful to re-establish control growing of breeding young boars in elever; to carry out selection of breeding progeny (85 – 110 kg live weight) for leanness determined by ultrasonic measurements (Pig­log 105 or other); to renew and expand selection of breeding boars and sows in respect of meat quality; to renew selection of stress – resistant pigs according to conclusions of genetic investigation; to create a system the implement of osteochondrosis control in pig breeding centres.
