Abstract
Current meat poultry farming, along with pig breeding, is one of the livestock sub-sectors that provides adequate nutrition for the population and food security of the country. The development of the sub-sector is provided by the goals, objectives and main areas for the development of state programs, as well as by the support that is provided within their framework. The experience of implementing programs and state support has shown high efficiency. Broiler meat is mainly obtained in industrial conditions. Achievements of science make it possible to obtain high production results. To solve the strategic objectives of meat poultry farming, a subprogram is being implemented, the purpose of which is to reduce the import dependence of meat poultry farming on imported breeding products and processes. The state of meat poultry farming in Russia, the dynamics of poultry meat production, the results of construction, reconstruction and upgrading of poultry farms within the framework of the state program and the results of the implementation of the subprogram are analyzed. Proposals have been formulated to clarify the productivity of domestic cross-country meat chickens and increase production through further upgrading and reconstruction of poultry farms that have been using outdated technologies and equipment so far.
