The Kemerovo region in Russia is pioneering large-scale industrial breeding of partridges, specifically the chukar, under the leadership of postgraduate student Daria Latysheva from Kuzbass State Agrarian University. The project aims to leverage the nutritional benefits of chukar meat, which is richer in calories and minerals than chicken, and the bird's resistance to stress and diseases, which eliminates the need for vaccines and antibiotics. The initiative, relatively new in Russia, has received accolades at the UMNIK project competition for young scientists and if successful, it is planned to be expanded across Siberia.
