THE BREEDING VALUE ECONOMIC INDEX OF CATTLE

The article discusses the features of the organization of breeding work, with regard to the economic assessment of its efficiency. The introduction of an economic index for assessing the breeding value of cattle into the practice of breeding work with dairy cattle will make it possible to carry out targeted selection in order to increase the profitability of milk production. The purpose of the study is to develop and analyze an economic index for assessing the breeding value of dairy cattle, taking into account the peculiarities of the Russian approach to the organization of breeding work. The study includes an analysis of the current state of milk production and breeding work in the Samara region. The main strengths and weaknesses of dairy farming are identified. The state of breeding enterprises in the region and their impact on the state of milk production in the region are analyzed. The composition of the elements of the economic index for assessing the breeding value of cattle and the prospects for its use are determined. Medium-term forecast of dairy cattle breeding development in the region is obtained under the condition of the index`s application. Dairy farming is one of the most important branches of agriculture. However, for a long time, milk production remained unattractive due to low economic efficiency of production. One of the reasons for this is low productivity due to the use of outdated approaches to breeding work. The use of an economic index for assessing the breeding value of cattle will allow us to intensify breeding work. In accordance with the forecast, the use of this indicator in breeding work will increase the productivity of cattle and the volume of milk production in the region.
