The agro-industrial complex of the country faces a strategically important task, which as to increase the production of meat, including beef. This problem has been trying to solve by creating a specialized beef cattle industry. The impetus for the development of beef cattle in the Kurgan region was the departmental target program of the Department of agriculture and processing industry of the Kurgan region “Development of beef cattle for 2011–2015”. Implementation of the Program has allowed to increase the number of beef cattle from 2010 to 2015 from 2089 to 6531 heads including cows from 666 up to 2898 heads. In subsequent years there was also a positive trend. For the development of the beef cattle industry in the Kurgan region at present there are all conditions: natural forage lands, the possibility of using low-cost intensive grazing technology, resources of breeding stock in dairy herds for the formation of new beef farms, forage grain. The results of the analysis of the state and prospects of development of this industry in the Kurgan region have been presented in the article. A positive trend has been revealed. In order to preserve the positive trends in the development of beef cattle industry of the Kurgan region it is planned to continue the annual increase of livestock, improvement of productive traits, including live weight, milk capacity and reproductive ability of cows, and improved forage base and optimization of feeding rations according to sex and age of groups.

One of the ways of increasing level of animal economically useful traits is selection work with farm families. In pedigree cattle breeding of Ukraine families are a statistical component of breed genealogy. Among the main scientific works on working with families, it should be noted minimum number of female ancestors, proposed by D. T. Vinnichuk, to determine the breeding value, different categories, classification and techniques for evaluating related groups of females. The aim of our research was to analyse importance of farm families for genealogical structure of the breed. The research was on basis of data of primary breeding records at the herd of Volyn Beef cattle of “Zorya” breeding farm, Kovel district, Volyn region. Akula 102, Galka 37 and Galka 1537 families belonging to Krasavchyk 3004 bloodline, Smorodyna 613, Korona 2382 and Visla 1016 families – Tsebryk 3888 bloodline, Kalyna 212, Verba 1536 and Garna 536 families – Yamb 3066 bloodlines, Kazka 433, Galka 421 and Bystra 1124 families – Buinyi 3042 bloodline, Rozetka 1313, Arfa 599 and Bulana 943 families – Sonnyi-Kaktus 3307-9828 bloodline, and Palma 275, Desna 870 and Veselka 444 families – Mudryi 9100 bloodline were characterized. Belonging to a bloodline was determined by the father's side of female ancestors. Structural units of families: branches, branching with identifying the best individuals on breeding traits were submitted to identify the best combinations and successful use of closely related breeding. Comparing assessment of related groups of females on the main breeding traits belonging to Krasavchyk 3004 bloodline, it was noted that the cows of Akula 102 family predominated in live weight at 5 years’ age, milk ability and economic use duration, whereas the cows of Galka 1537 family – on traits of reproductive ability. Smorodyna 613 family of Tsebryk 3888 bloodline had high duration of economic use and cows’ live weight at 5 years’ age compared with Korana 2382 and Visla 1016 families with equal values of the exterior traits (height measures) and coefficient of reproductive ability. The families of Mudryi 9100 bloodline in terms of reproduction (calving interval, coefficient of reproductive ability) had the highest figures of cows’ milk ability and live weight. The cows of Bulana 943 family had a considerable predominance over representatives of Rozetka 1313 and Arfa 599 families of Sonnyi-Kaktus 3307-9828 bloodline by main economically useful traits. High indices of reproductive ability were noted in these families. Heifers of the families of Buinyi 3042 bloodline had high live weight at 18 months’ age at average values of milk ability and cows’ live weight at 5 years’ age. More equal figures of growth rate, exterior and economic use duration were observed in the cows of Kalyna 212, Verba 1536 and Garna 536 families of Yamb 3066 bloodline. Breeding by families in beef cattle breeding is an important element of selection, because it allows to evaluate not only related group of female ancestor, but also to analyse a successful combination with lines and purposeful use of closely related breeding by the best representatives of a breed.

The state of Pará has the fifth largest cattle herd in Brazil at 20.3 million heads, and beef cattle breeding accounts for 44.32% of the agricultural production value. Using a recursive econometric model estimated by the generalized method of moments, we evaluated the effects of variables that define the supply and demand of slaughtered beef cattle from 1990 to 2015. The results showed that supply and demand were inelastic to prices. Increases in rural salary and calf prices negatively affected supply, and the response to rural credit applications occurred with a four-year lag due to the biological and technological characteristics of production systems. Deforestation tended to increase the supply of cattle and slaughterhouses appropriated the largest share of the economic surplus generated. There were productivity gains since the early 1990s, with the yield of slaughtered animals was 230.55 kg for cattle and 182.25 kg for cows, while currently, it is 276 and 202.5 kg, respectively. The creation of the Agriculture and Livestock Defense Agency of the State of Pará had a positive effect on the supply of cattle and the expansion of agroindustry structure, contributing to the supply of large markets with higher quality beef.

Investing in agro-industrial enterprises ensures the competitiveness of agro-industrial formations through the use of innovations to improve their positions in both domestic and foreign markets; achieving economic and food security; improving the social infrastructure of the village translator. Investment activity is a determining factor in the effectiveness of the formation and use of investment potential of agricultural enterprises. The analysis of statistical data on the volume of investments in agricultural enterprises of Lviv region at the expense of district budgets in 2019–2020 indicates an increase in investment resources invested in Horodok, Zolochiv and Stryj districts. However, the total approved amount of investments in the region in 2020 (1913.0 thousand UAH) decreased by 2.3 times compared to the funded volume in 2019 (4394.9 thousand UAH), which indicates the unstable rate of investment activity of investments in agro-industrial enterprises in terms of districts of Lviv region. During 2016–2020, there is a positive trend to increase the share of investments in the agro-industrial complex of Lviv region from the budgets of all levels, which, given the leading role of the national agricultural sector, is quite natural. This figure will reach its maximum value in 2020, which is 15.3 more than in 2016, at the expense of the state budget and 1.6 times more – at the expense of the regional budget. During 2019 (52 enterprises) 2.5 times compared to 2016 (22 enterprises) increased the number of agricultural enterprises in Lviv region, which used the program of interest compensation on loans in the amount of 68.4 million UAH. at the expense of the regional budget, which is 3.1 times more than in 2016 (UAH 22.0 million). The program of compensation of interest on loans from the state budget in 2019 was used by 41 enterprises of the agro-industrial complex of Lviv region, which is 3.2 shirts more than in 2016. However, funding decreased from UAH 334.1 million. in 2016 to UAH 173.8 million. in 2019. In 2019, UAH 11.5 million was financed for the implementation of business plans at the expense of soft loans of Lviv region. at the expense of the state budget and UAH 6.8 million. at the expense of the local budget. This allowed 34 businesses to purchase 14 units of agricultural machinery, plant 18.7 hectares of orchards and berries, purchase 24 heads of breeding animals, 21 formations to modernize technological processes and create an additional 30 jobs. Investments are an important guarantee of effective economic development of any enterprise, region, country. At the present stage, the main task is to take all possible measures to create an attractive investment climate and intensify investment processes at both the regional and national levels.

Intensive use of highly productive animals has revealed new problems associated with reducing the duration of productive use of animals and reducing their reproductive abilities, which lead to a decrease in the number of young animals for rearing and fattening for beef. Therefore, the study of the infl uence of age on the productive traits of cows is relevant and has practical signifi cance. The purpose of the work was to evaluate cows for economically useful traits depending on the age of the animals. It has been found that the milk yield for lactation increases with age in cows. If from fi rst-calf heifers has been received 5163,8±212,3 kg of milk, then 6106,5±201,7 and 6846,8±231,7 from cows of the third and fourth lactation, respectively, this was more by 942,7 kg or 18,2 % and 1683,8 kg or 32,6 %. Milk yield increases gradually from lactation to lactation with increasing age of cows and thus confi rms the association of improving the productive traits of animals with the laws of development, i.e. the onset of their physiological maturity. It has been revealed that the farm does not have optimal conditions for the full manifestation of the genetic potential of productivity, and therefore cows of the third and fourth lactation have lower milk yields than possible. So, the estimated milk yield of fi rstcalf heifers to mature cows practically corresponds to the milk yield that was received from cows after IV lactation. The diff erence between groups of cows in the content of individual components of milk was insignifi cant, although there is a positive trend to reduce the content of protein and casein with increasing age of cows. Cows bred on the farm have high indicators of reproductive ability. So, they have a short period of open day from 26,6±0,61 days (II lactation) to 43,7±1,11 days (III lactation), the optimal pregnancy period and calving interval (less than a calendar year). The level of profi tability of milk production increases with increasing milk yields, which increase with age.

The problem in management process and production of Aceh beef cattle farms in Aceh Besar  has not been explored. This study aimed to determine the basic system of supply chain for the Aceh beef cattle production in Central Aceh Besar developed a model for optimizing the supply chain management and sustainability to increase productivity and business efficiency. This research used SWOT analysis and industrial supply chain approaches. The results showed that the current supply chain system of the Aceh beef cattle industry in Aceh Besar which has been running so far, needs to be strengthened to increase production and population of Aceh beef cattle in the future.  There were 4 issues were identified: time, 29.6% faster than the current supply chain supply time;  method, 60% no longer needed a business intermediary; cost, 21.4% of the live weight price of cattle was cheaper than the live weight price of current supply chain cattle; and stages, 30.8% shorter than the ongoing supply chain stages. The result of the SWOT analysis matrix showed that the SO (strength-opportunities) strategy was the main strategy for business developing of Aceh beef cattle in Central Aceh. In conclusion, it is necessary to optimize the implementation of the supply chain of Aceh Cattle Industry at Central Aceh by utilizing its strengths and suppressing the existing weaknesses from the breeding production to marketing process.

Abstract. One of the most important and promising areas of domestic productive horse breeding today is herd meat. It is most sustainable and has a positive trend of development, due to the low-cost technology of keeping, breeding and growing, compared with other sectors of grazing. An analysis of the pedigree structure of herds in the Altai Republic showed that the main role in the herd horse breeding of the region is given to horses of the Novoaltaiskaya breed of meat direction of productivity, the basis of which, like any other factory breed, are brood mares. It is well known and repeatedly confirmed by studies that the hereditary and phenotypic properties of the mother have a great impact on the quality of the offspring of any lineage. The aim of the study was to determine the severity of the uterine composition of Novoaltaiskaya breed of horses of economically useful traits and to identify the most promising and valuable breed lineages in the Altai Republic. Methods. The lineage ratios in the broodstock of horses of Novoaltaiskaya breed in the farms of the region as of 2018 are analyzed. The characteristics of the uterus of various lineages by age and quantity are given. A linear analysis of the indicators of the main economically useful features is carried out. The results of the study showed the superiority of the uterus of the Rekrut and Mech lineages in the main breeding traits – live weight, basic measurements and assessment of conformation. Based on the results of the study, the further direction of breeding work to improve the horses of Novoaltaiskaya breed in the Altai Republic was determined. The scientific novelty of the study is a comparative analysis of the current state of the lineages of the Novoaltaiskaya breed of horses in the context of the broodstock of the Altai Republic.

In the article are considered the effect of postpartum course and periodicity of manifestation of dystocia and reproductive capacity of Holstein cows of different age. The experimental part of the research was performed at the industrial complex for milk production of cows of Holstein breed of “Agro-Soyuz”. Assessment of ease of calving in cows of different age was determined in points (V. Berglund, J. Phillipson et al., 1987): 1 – easy calving; 2 – normal calving, only some help is required (slight dystocia); 3 – heavy calving, full intervention is required (dystocia). And was determined the live weight of the calves (kg). It is found that about 83 % of cows the calving pass easily enough. At the same time, more than 10 % of the calving, operators had to spend only the final help of the calves release from the animal's birth canal. However, almost 7 % of calving animals care required sufficiently substantial assistance, which included several operators. It is proved that the age of the cows is not crucial, which determines the dystocia. In this case, a direct relationship was established between the live weight of calves at birth and the display of dystocia during calving of cows. The live weight of the newborn at 37 kg causes a slight dystocia, and weighs about 39 kg – a dystocia. The live weight of the calves at birth at the level of 34 kg provides a normal course of calving. In 74.4 % of first-heifers there is a complication of recovery of the reproduction system after calving. The rate of cows in fourth lactation is quite high – 72.5 %. Close to this indicator are characterized by cows of the second lactation, in which symptomatic infertility is 69.6 %. The average index of insemination is 1.9 units is typical for cows with a normal postpartum period. Symptomatic infertility leads to a lengthening of the service period by almost a month, compared to calving cows and the postpartum period proceeded normally. Heavy dystocia during calving is characteristic of 12 % of the animals, which were predominantly cows of the first calving. Keywords: holstein breed, service period, calving, index of insemination, dystocia, symptomatic infertility.
