A concern for the growth and utilization of sheep is raised since ancient times in Romania. The development of livestock sector is determined by the climate and the geographical configuration with the availability of grasslands maintained by transhumants. The pastoralism founded a domestic processing of milk, wool and leather products with positive socio-economic implications on material and spiritual life of local people. The sheep breeds prevailed until the 20th century were ‘Tucana’ and ‘Stogose’ and, to a lesser extent, ‘Tisigai’. These breeds, generally unimproved, have a profound fitness and resistance to harsh weather conditions. These breeds were also fit for traveling long routes in search of food. The utilization of a sheep breed is determined by the national economic demand, productivity potential of the breed, available, technology, improvement and utilization methods of the breed. The said sheep breeds were appreciated because they produce a diversity of products having superior nutritional or economic values. It is known especially for its white wool, which is used in domestic industry for making clothes and other products including artifacts, textiles, Persian carpets, etc. Considering the local natural conditions and the national economic demands, the sheep husbandry was assisted continuously to support intensive and multilateral development producing the necessary raw materials for the textile, fur, leather and food industry. Both research and the technical developments have contributed to the zootechnical field geared to resolve the problems appeared in the development of sheep. The scientific knowledge and expertise need to be combined with application skills leading to the development and modernization of complex technologies helping growth of sheep products.

Unique biological quality of Mongolian livestock that helps the animal withstand the cold and feed shortage seasons in despite of feeding pasture plants only for all year round is an evidence of its pasture usability. Better growth of hair and wool of hardy Mongolian livestock, which are able to grow under severe natural and climatic conditions, during summer and autumn, and fibers appeared around the hair base during cold season make the animals resistant to cold. Mongolia has a long tradition of raising livestock in the vast territory. This is based on a system of pastoral herding consisting of five kinds of livestock. Mongolians have specific, historical traditions of nomadic ways for pastoral animal breeding. Since ancient times they are bred the five kinds of livestock with unique capabilities, adapted to four seasons grazing under harsh natural and climatic conditions of Central Asian mountainous and used their benefits. Although Mongolian livestock breeds are well adapted to harsh weather conditions, their productivity is not especially high. Animal husbandry is the fundamental source of food consumption and raw materials for the national economy, contributing 20% of the total GDP. Livestock workers make up 34.5% of the total labor force. The livestock sector is responsible for 90% of total agricultural production and comprises 12.5% of all exports. Currently, Mongolia has: 2 breeds and 2 strains of horses, 4 breeds of camel, 3 breeds and 1 breeding group of cattle, 13 breeds, 3 breed groups and 3 breeding races and 3 strains of sheep and 7 breeds, 4 strains of goats forming genetic resources of Mongolian livestock. The main products of the livestock sector are meat, milk, wool, cashmere and hides. Due to the harsh climatic conditions of Mongolian livestock, their wools grow well in the summer and autumn, and during the cold season, cashmere is covered with cashmere and they are resistant to cold. Mongolians have specific historical traditions of managing nomadic husbandry of five types of livestock populations, which are adapted to all year round grazing under severe natural and climatic conditions of Central Asian plateau, growing and breeding of wealth producing livestock populations and utilizing their animal products since ancient times.

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by different fungi, with different chemical structures. Mycotoxins contaminate food, feed, or raw materials used in their production and cause diseases and disorders in humans and livestock. Because of their great variety of toxic effects and their extreme heat resistance, the presence of mycotoxins in food and feed is considered a high risk to human and animal health. In order to ensure food quality and health consumers, European legislation has set maximum contents of some mycotoxins in different matrices. However, there are still some food commodities susceptible to fungal contamination, which were not contemplated in this legislation. In this context, we have developed new analytical techniques for the multiclass determination of mycotoxins in a great variety of food commodities (some of them scarcely studied), such as cereals, pseudocereals, cereal syrups, nuts, edible seeds, and botanicals. Considering the latest technical developments, ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry has been chosen as an efficient, fast, and selective powerful analytical technique. In addition, alternative sample treatments based on emerging methodologies, such as dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction and QuEChERS, have been developed, which allow an increased efficiency and sample throughput, as well as reducing contaminant waste.

Modern domestic feed production is developing at a fairly steady pace, which is facilitated by the increase in the volume and scale of production in the livestock sector. Today, domestic agricultural pro-ducers fully provide the domestic market with pork, poultry and egg. the efficiency of the development of the livestock sector depends on the quality of feed and the fattening system by more than 60%. All this proves the relevance and prospects of studying the dynamics of the development of feed production in order to im-prove the manageability of this area of management, organizational support, identify potential risks and de-velop effective solutions to minimize them. As the basic provisions of the study, it is worth noting: key produc-tion segments of the domestic feed industry; production volumes of mixed feeds, premixes, feed additives and concentrates in Russia; market leaders in the production of mixed feeds at the time of 2019.; the reasons for the transition of large companies to self-feed; the negative factors (risks) which impact on sustainable devel-opment of the Russian market of animal feed; scenarios of development of domestic fodder production in the short term (2–3 years) taking into account the most pressing problems and uncertainties (distribution COVID-19; higher prices for imported feed additives; devaluation; grain yield; volatility of prices for raw materials and components, logistics, etc.); substantiation of the prospects for the development of the Russian food complex against the background of the strengthening of the global problem of hunger and food security.

Mineral resources are the material basis of national economic construction and people's living standards, In China more than 80% of the energy and industrial raw materials from the mineral resources, and its total ranked third in the world, while the per capita amount is less than half the world average, and is very resource scarce countries. Its reserves of mineral resources are limited, supply is limited, is a non-renewable resource. With the continuous development and utilization constantly dropped, it has exhaustible. Under certain technical conditions, continued exploitation of resources of a mineral resource reserves will gradually approaches zero. In other words, when the abundance of minerals continue to reduce, development costs continue to rise, so that the quantity demanded tends to zero, the state reached exhaustion.

The current socio-economic situation in Russia is developing under the influence of anti-Russian sanctions, the intensification of global competition, the complication of the world political situation. Against this background, a complex problem requiring an integrated and systemic solution is to ensure sustainable parameters of economic growth. As the economy has a tendency to repeat the dynamics, it allows us to identify the cyclical nature of its development. Successful industrial development is replaced by periods of decline, accompanied by inflation and unemployment, a decline in production and consumption. The study of socio-economic dynamics in a long-term retrospective allows us to identify patterns in development and develop a set of anti-crisis measures. In this paper, we study the dynamics of socio-economic processes that accompany the development of the national economic complex in recent years. Analysis of the dynamics of the GDP of the Russian Federation made it possible to discover the cyclical nature of its development. From 2002 to 2015, two cycles were identified: the first - from 2002 to 2008; the second - from 2009 to 2015. After the global financial and economic crisis of 2008-2009, Russia noted the post-crisis economic recovery, which was interrupted in 2013-2014 by the introduction of international economic sanctions against Russia. The slowdown in economic growth since 2014 was determined by external shocks in the energy and raw materials markets, as well as by geopolitical tensions and, as a result, the closure of foreign capital markets for a number of Russian companies and banks. Analysis of investment as the main catalyst for economic growth showed a fall in investment volumes amid the effects of the crises of 2008 and 2013-2015. A decrease in investment activity in the regional structure of investments was noted. The modern tendencies in reorientation of regional investments in the branch, not subject to sanctions influence and working on realization of import substitution policy are revealed. Groups of activities aimed at stimulating capital investments and ensuring sustainable economic development in the regions have been formed.

Rubber is one of the most versatile industrial raw-materials which find use in a variety of diversified activities, ranging from clinical to defense. It literally turns the wheels of industry and there is hardly any walk of life where rubber is not used. Rubber is an elastomeric which has a natural source as well as a synthetic analogue, known as synthetic rubber. Natural rubber accounts for 78% of the consumption in India where as the global consumption of rubber are 64% synthetic and 36% natural rubber. The social and economic benefits of rubber plantation produce are new jobs, renewable raw-materials, and absorbing carbon emissions. Rubber plantation creates a host of jobs, from directly rubber harvesting activities to those created indirectly to support the needs of the plantation workers. The agro-climatic conditions of NER are quite similar to that of South-West coastal region- the traditional rubber plantation area in terms of rainfall, humidity, temperature and suitable soil structure. It is for this reason the NER registered itself in the list of non-traditional region of rubber growers. In Dimoria region there are about thirty numbers of Rubber Plantation gardens. Villagers in this hilly area on the city outskirts have found way to stretch their income-growing rubber. The paper presents a case study of the rubber plantation of this locality.
