Економічне обґрунтування державної підтримки збереження генофонду локальних і зникаючих порід сільськогосподарських тварин
The size of budget subsidies for preservation of the gene pool of local endangered domestic breeds of dairy and beef cattle, pigs, sheep, horses and ducks has been substantiated. In particular, the cost for preservation of the regulatory (minimum) amount of livestock gene pool of farm animals was calculated on base of regulatory cost of feed. In calculating the amount of financial support for the conservation of gametes of farm animals’ sires into the cost of their preservation have been accounted. Fast development of biotechnologies, particularly gene and cellar engineering, predetermine the approaches towards local breeds on the verge of extinction as to unique gene carriers that can be used for formation of animal bio farm that would produce bio-active substances in order to meet needs and demands of the mankind.
