ECONOMIC WEIGHTS OF IMPORTANT PRODUCTIVE VARIABLES IN BELLY SOW FARMS
The objective of this study was to obtain the economic weights (PE), important for the selection indices, of different characteristics of importance in sow sow farms. With the positive approximation system, the PEs were obtained for the functions of maximum benefit and maximum efficiency. Litter size at birth has a low PE and, depending on the profit function, may be negative. Obtaining the PEs is important not only to perform an economic prioritization during the selection of individuals, but also to determine how they affect the system.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to obtain the economic weights (PE), important for the selection indices, of different characteristics of importance in sow sow farms. With the positive approximation system, the PEs were obtained for the functions of maximum benefit and maximum efficiency. Litter size at birth has a low PE and, depending on the profit function, may be negative. Obtaining the PEs is important not only to perform an economic prioritization during the selection of individuals, but also to determine how they affect the system.
