Abstract. Functional and macromorphological indicators of reproduction were studied when 30.0% of fermented compound feed from agricultural waste according to recipe No. 1 was included in the diet of replacement pigs from the age of four months in comparison with control animals (basic diet – BD) and pigs fed with 30.0% of fermented compound feed from agricultural waste according to recipe No. 2. It was found that the first stage of sexual cycle arousal occurred 37.9 and 22.4 days earlier, which was greater before reaching physiological maturity by 1.88 and 0.86 units of sexual cycles;   the average mass of the genitals increased by 15.4% and 8.2%; the number of follicles in the ovaries increased by 33.1–41.3% and the average area of the uterine ligaments increased by 18.7% and 8.2%. When 30.0% of fermented mixed feed from agricultural waste according to recipe No. 2 was included in the diet of replacement pigs from the age of four months, compared with control animals (BD), the first stage of sexual cycle arousal occurred 15.5 days earlier against the background of superiority in the number of sexual cycles before reaching physiological maturity by 1.02; the number of follicles in the ovaries increased by 20.1–30.4% and the average area of the uterine ligaments by 9.0%.

Keywords: gilts, reproduction, physiological maturity, functional and macromorphological indicators, agricultural and processing industry waste, compound feed, microbiological fermentation
