  Making use of the gauge/string duality, it is possible to study some aspects
of the string breaking phenomenon in the three quark system. Our results point
out that the string breaking distance is not universal and depends on quark
geometry. The estimates of the ratio of the string breaking distance in the
three quark system to that in the quark-antiquark system would range
approximately from $\frac{2}{3}$ to $1$. In addition, it is shown that there
are special geometries which allow more than one breaking distance.
