Состояние и прогноз развития молочного козоводства в Российской Федерации

Abstract

There are 768 thousand dairy goats in Russia. Dairy goat breeding is represented by 4 breeds: Zaanensky, Alpine, Nubian, Mursiano-Granadina. The number of breeding animals is 12.3 thousand. The main factors hindering the development of dairy goat breeding are: the weak domestic base of breeding animals of the dairy direction of productivity and the shortage of goats for creating new farms in agricultural organizations; the lack of evaluation standards and forms of breeding accounting until recently; negative consequences of the adoption of veterinary regionalization rules that prevent the spread of breeding animals and genetic material throughout the country. The development of the breeding base in dairy goat farming will take place gradually due to the transformation of large and medium-sized farms into breeding organizations.
