Abstract Today the development of pig breeding is one of the most perspective lines in animal husbandry, capable of providing the population with high-quality and affordable agricultural products. One of the ways to improve the efficiency of pig breeding is increasing the productivity of animals. The increasing of animals’ productivity is possible only with using of deep knowledge of the relationship between organism and the environment. New reproduction technologies, keeping and hog growing are inevitably accompanied by industrial stresses, which create the preconditions for a weakening of the overall condition of the body and decrease in hormonal status, which leads to a violation of the ovulatory response of the ovaries, a lessening conception rate and sows birth rate, to lengthening of the pork production cycle, and to decreasing in the profitability of the industry. The article describes the results of studies carried out in the conditions of LLC "Znamensky SGC" of the Oryol region, on the study of the hormonal status of sows, diagnosed with ovarian hypofunction and a method of its correction for the formation of full sexual cycle.
