FORECAST OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF DAIRY CATTLE IN THE CENTRAL BLACK EARTH REGION
The purpose of the study is to develop a forecast for the development of dairy cattle breeding, based on the introduction of advanced scientific and technological developments. The forecast is based on the data provided in the EMISS, by extrapolating the revealed patterns for the period of the forecast horizon. To ensure a sufficient level of food security in Russia, commodity producers of the Central Black Earth Region need to increase milk production to 4523 thousand tons, which is possible only with the innovative development of the industry. The maximum milk production by 2033 is expected in the Voronezh region -2271.2 thousand tons. The highest milk productivity of cows is predicted in the Belgorod region - 11168 kg per year. The maximum level ofprofitability of milk production will be achieved in the Tambov region - 31.2%. The calculation of specific indicators of milk production efficiency showed that the largest volume of milk production per 100 hectares of agricultural land will be obtained in the Belgorod region - 64.8 tons, and per worker - in the Voronezh region -17.97 tons. Thus, the implementation of the strategy scientific and technological development of dairy cattle breeding in the Central Black Earth Region will increase milk production in the macroregion and improve the efficiency of the industry.
