ENHANCING EFFICIENCY OF THE REPRODUCTIVE PROCESS IN DAIRY CATTLE BREEDING IN KRASNODAR REGION BY IMPROVING THE ECONOMIC MECHANISM

A dairy cattle breeding is one of the most promising and at the same time problematic sub‑sectors of the agriculture. During the period of economic reforms, the sub‑sector has undergone negative qualitative and quantitative changes, which led to a decrease in production of the raw milk in Krasnodar region. A dairy cattle breeding has its own characteristics, which have an impact on the reproduction process. Participation in the reproductive process of living organisms, development of which takes place according to the laws of nature, is the most important of them. The development of economic and industrial relations in dairy cattle breeding is carried out through the economic mechanism. The article highlights the imperfection of the current economic mechanism in the sub‑sector. The influence of various factors on the reduction of milk production, as well as the possibility of improving the efficiency of the reproductive process in dairy cattle breeding by improving the economic mechanism are examined. The research conducted within the framework of the article is devoted to development of practical recommendations for its improvement. The constant growth of costs does not allow the majority of domestic livestock organizations to compete with highly subsidized imported products. The necessity of state support of the sub‑sector is substantiated. It is concluded that the increase in milk productivity of cows and the increase in subsidies per 1 kg of milk contributes to the growth of profits from its implementation. The author found that the provision of state budget funds to increase milk productivity leads to a twofold increase in the level of profitability of the products sold. One of the ways to improve the economic mechanism is also the transition to an intensive development path. It is proved that by increasing the intensity of production the yield per 1 head of cattle will be increased and the cost per unit of production will be reduced. Improvement of the economic mechanism requires a systematic approach, which will help to improve the efficiency of the reproductive process in the dairy cattle breeding, to achieve the parameters of food security in milk and dairy products.
