The development of scientific and technological progress in the field of pig production is inextricably linked to the continuous improvement of technological equipment, space-planning solutions for industrial buildings and farm development. Large-scale farms and complexes are being built to improve the forms and methods of pig production around the world. In order to choose the most rational option for certain conditions, it is necessary to apply criteria by which to compare the options under consideration. The right list of criteria plays a significant role in choosing the best solution. A large number of different technologies with a wide variety of technological means requires the availability and use of evaluation criteria that can be used to assess and select the most efficient technologies and the most rational design and technological solutions for pig farms. While standard designs can be used for the construction of new pig farms and complexes, the reconstruction and modernisation of existing ones requires a personal approach to designing in accordance with the terms of reference. The selection of a project for further financing takes place in several stages. The relevance of the benchmarking tasks, as well as the selection, is determined at the preliminary stage by considering a fairly wide range of project alternatives (or projects themselves). Moreover, their detailed analysis can lead to significant expenditure of resources and time. If several investment projects have been formed, and each of them meets the requirements in terms of its financial and economic indicators (the final stage of investment research), it is also necessary to solve the problem of their comparative analysis, which is associated with the selection of one best project (option) or some combination of them for further implementation. If several best projects are to be selected from the portfolio, the total amount of financing, taking into account the investor's capabilities, can be determined by applying the Pareto selection rule. According to this rule, the best option would be the one that would be no worse than the first one in all respects, and at the same time at least one indicator better than it. The efficiency of the developed space-planning solutions was assessed using mathematical methods of multi-criteria optimisation. The following evaluation criteria were applied: the cost of the area intended for meat production; the use of production area per average pig; and the workload of the machine part of the pigsty. The criteria for payment for the area intended for meat production, the use of the amount of production area per average annual pig, the use of the machine (useful) area of the pigsty and specific labour costs for projects for 168, 200 and 200 main sows were calculated. Based on the data obtained, it was found that the most efficient from both technological and economic points of view is the first project of a pig farm designed for 200 main sows.
