Formation of prerequisites for reforming the dairy cattle breeding system

Abstract

Abstract The article examines the need for agriculture in the Russian Federation in the restructuring of the principles of reorganization of the breeding system on the example of dairy cattle breeding. The purpose of the study is to analyze the current state of the dairy farming industry in the region and propose directions for further development. Within the framework of the study, it is planned to solve the following tasks: - to analyze the situation in pedigree cattle breeding in the Russian Federation and to identify the main trends; - to determine the peculiarities of the state of breeding in the Samara region on the example of the “Kryazh” breeding plant; - to propose measures to improve breeding in dairy cattle breeding. The results of the study prove that the effectiveness of the Soviet breeding system (in terms of productivity) is very low, which indicates the need for its reorganization on the principles of independent breed associations. Many breeding farms are ineffective, the parameters stipulated by the legislation are violated. All this leads to a decrease in the rate of selection work in comparison with world analogues.
