The article presents an analysis of the state of unproductive disposal of pigs of different ages and groups in one of the industrial complexes of the Belgorod region based on the results of annual reports over the past four years. The percentage of unproductive loss of pigs was calculated according to the generally accepted method, based on the indicators of the number of pigs eliminated at different ages in relation to the total disposal of pigs of all ages at the end of the year. The largest percentage of animal deaths was among piglets aged 0-28 days and 75-160 days, which negatively affected the profitability of the enterprise and required urgent measures from livestock breeders and veterinary specialists to study and eliminate the causes.
