Tridge summary
The region also pays great attention to the conservation of livestock breeds in gene pool farms. The current state of livestock breeding in the Stavropol Territory requires a significant acceleration of the breeding process in herds and populations. Work on improving the genetic potential and improving the productive qualities of farm animals is a strategic task that determines the active development of the agricultural sector in the field of animal husbandry. In the Stavropol Territory, on the basis of one of the agricultural enterprises of the Apanasenkovsky municipal district, with the involvement of the scientific community of the All-Russian Research Institute of Sheep and Goat Breeding - a branch of the North Caucasian Federal Scientific Agrarian Center, scientific research will be carried out on the topic: "Polymorphic variants of genes associated with meat productivity of cattle livestock in the Stavropol Territory.

- Currently, the breeding organizations of the region contain 85.4 thousand heads of breeding breeding stock (cattle for dairy and beef production, sheep, goats), including 11.8 thousand heads of cattle for meat production. On behalf of the Minister of Agriculture of the Stavropol Territory, Sergei Aleksandrovich Izmalkov, we pay special attention to the preservation of livestock breeds in gene pool farms and the qualitative improvement of the breeding potential of livestock in reproducers and factories. So, in order to increase the meat productivity of cattle, together with researchers and farm specialists, we are working on the creation of modern, effective and affordable methods in the field of molecular genetic control of the breeding process in herds and populations, - said Dmitry Free. Recall that in 2022, within the framework of the state program of the Stavropol Territory "Development of Agriculture", the amount of state support for livestock breeding increased by 2.2 ...
