Analysis of the state and trends in the development of livestock breeding in the Novosibirsk region taking into account its biological safety

Animal husbandry is a priority industry of the agro-industrial complex of the Novosibirsk region, the main directions of which are meat and dairy cattle breeding, sheep breeding, pig breeding and poultry farming. The study analyzes the state of the livestock industry. Priority directions of livestock breeding development are connected with deepening of zonal specialization, introduction of modern innovative technologies on the basis of maximum use of genetic potential of animals through improvement of selection and breeding work, strengthening of fodder and material and technical base, full and balanced feeding, renovation, reconstruction and modernization of livestock buildings. The main directions of improvement of safety guarantees of raw material zones are presented at the expense of a complex of measures to prevent the entry of poor-quality and dangerous products into food markets, as well as to create veterinary safe raw material zones. The main provisions analyzed in the study: distribution of agricultural commodity producers by specializations of the livestock industry; the number of agricultural organizations of various forms of ownership engaged in beef cattle breeding; the number of livestock of farm animals and poultry in agricultural enterprises (farms) of the region by years. Information is given about the conducted anti-epizootic measures for 2023 and the first half of 2024. In order to ensure sustainable veterinary well-being of animal husbandry it is necessary to develop and introduce into veterinary practice modern methods of diagnostics, treatment and prophylaxis in the field of infectious and non-communicable diseases of animals; to solve the problem of mass gastrointestinal diseases of young animals, as well as the prevention of infertility of the breeding stock of farm animals; in the field of veterinary sanitation, hygiene and ecology to develop a system and technologies of veterinary-sanitary and zootechnical service of animal husbandry in farms of all forms of ownership taking into account regional peculiarities; to improve the methods of assessment of veterinary-sanitary condition of fodder and food of animal origin and products imported from other regions.
