This became known at a meeting in the Ministry of Agriculture on livestock breeding, where it was noted that over the past 10 years, more than 2 thousand dairy cattle breeding facilities have been put into operation, reconstructed and modernized throughout the country, and more than 792 thousand livestock places have been created in addition. Thanks to this, the productivity of cows increased by 25.6%, stressed in the press service of the federal agrarian department.

‘To further improve the breed qualities of dairy cattle, it is necessary to develop the domestic breeding base. To date, it is represented in dairy cattle breeding by 24 animal breeds of domestic and foreign selection. The State provides support measures to compensate for part of the costs associated with carrying out breeding activities. This year, 81 regions have identified livestock breeding as a priority area within the framework of the incentive subsidy,’ say the materials of the meeting held under the leadership of Maxim Uvaydov and Dzhambulat Khatuov.

The heads of the department reported that the Ministry of Agriculture is working on the State information system of livestock breeding. The resource, in particular, will allow to keep operational records and data processing, to assess the quality of animals in accordance with the requirements of the EEC, to minimize epizootic risks. It is expected that the system will start working since 2025.
