One of the main tasks of the development of the national economics of the Altai Republic is a rapid and signifi cant rise in animal husbandry, both in terms of increasing the number of all animal species, and in terms of increasing the productivity of maral breeding. New methods, new breeds, and highly productive types and lines are needed to solve these complex problems. Any breed is characterized by the unique gene pool and is the result of a long, purposeful and hard work. The scientists had the task of breeding and researching a breed type of maral of Altai-Sayan breed, which is common in some regions of the Republic. The object of the research was marals of the breed type has been bred in the APC BF “Tenginsky”, which were distributed both in the Republic of Altai and in other regions of the Russian Federation. In the sharply continental environments of the highlands animals have been bred that are characterized by a large live weight, high antler productivity and reproductive traits. With regard to the typicality and technological properties of antlers, marals in the APC BF “Tenginsky” occupy the first place in the production of antler products and breeding young animals. A complex evaluation of the method for the distinctiveness, uniformity and stability of breed type of marals has shown that the antler productivity of Tenginsky type antlers has higher indicators not only relative to the marals of neighboring farms, but also higher than the average indicators of the AltaiSayan breed by 30 %. Adult Siberian stags of Tenginsky type have live weight in the range 270–350 kg. Marals of the tengin type belong to large deer with a height of 150–165 cm at the withers. The horns of marals of the Tenginsky type are large in size and have 6–7 appendages. A distinctive feature of the main array of antlers in the Tenginsky type of antlers is the presence of short, but thick in girth trunks. The antler productivity of individual Siberian stags reaches 19,0–23,6 kg of raw antlers. The bred type includes high-class animals (91,6 % elite and class I), which annually produce more than 5,5 t of antlers and at least 350 breeding calves.

The purpose of the work was a comprehensive evaluation of the productive and reproductive traits of sows of Yorkshire and Landrace breeds and their offspring under the conditions of a breeding enterprise in the Republic of Belarus. During the studies of reproductive traits, it has been revealed that the highest rate of prolificacy among the evaluated breeds was distinguished by Yorkshire sows 14,0 heads for farrowing. In terms of milk content, Landrace sows were 2,5 kg or 4,57 % higher than Yorkshire sows. In terms of weight and socket weight per piglet at weaning at the age of 28 days sows Landrace piglets surpassed herdmates Yorkshire breed in the weight of the litter by 6,8 %, and the weight of one pig by 0,9 %. It has been found by the results of the evaluation of fattening and meat qualities of purebred young pigs that the best parameters were different gilts of Landrace breeds, whose age achieve the live weight of 100 kg was 163,1 days, and average daily gain of live weight – 864,8 g, which was higher than in young pigs of Yorkshire breed by 1,8 day or 1,09 %, and 28,9 g or by 3,46 %. The young pigs of Landrace breed has been characterized by the best values of the area of the “eye of loin” – 73,8 cm² and the highest yield and amount of meat – 68,5 % and 24 kg, which was 11,4 cm² or 18,2 % and 0,4 kg or 3,5 abs.%, respectively, higher than the herdmates of Yorkshire breed. The results obtained indicate the possibility of using boars and sows of Landrace and Yorkshire breeds not only in breeding, but also in industrial pig breeding.

The research was carried out in order to highlight the main problems that impede the increase in the competitiveness of Kazakhstani animal husbandry. The indicators of productivity (milk yield, shearing of wool from one sheep, etc.), as well as aggregated data (production volumes, indices of the physical volume of gross production) were used as criteria for assessing the development of the industry. In Kazakhstan, the share of beef pedigree cattle in 2019 accounted for only 11.5% of the total cattle population. The average live weight of cattle was 336 kg, the average slaughter weight was 175 kg, which is 2 times lower than world standards, the average live weight of 1 bird was 2.2 kg. The republic has a weak base for the production of basic feed for the fattening contingent, due to which its supply with such feed is at the level of 57.8% of the scientifically grounded norm. The share of breeding stock of dairy cattle (as of January 1, 2018) is 2.8%, birds of all types - 12.3% of the total livestock, sheep - 14.8%. In modern conditions, in order to increase competitiveness, it is necessary to focus efforts on solving such problems as providing highly productive breeding cattle and poultry; improving the fodder base by expanding the crops of corn, soybeans, alfalfa, chickpea; strengthening of preventive work against especially dangerous animal diseases; adaptation of scientific developments in the field of genetics, selection and fodder production to the current economic conditions in animal husbandry; accelerating the transfer of animal husbandry to new technologies; implementation of international standards for product quality and management

The results of research on the use of the probiotic drug “Profort” in the diet of young pigs have been presented in the article. The research was carried out under the conditions of LLC “Agrofirma Ariant” on the crossbreds of young pigs. The purpose of the research was to study the eff ectiveness of the effect of the probiotic drug “Profort” in intensive pig rearing on the reproductive traits of sows and the productive traits of piglets. In order to conduct the scientific and economic experiment at the first stage, 2 groups of pregnant sows were formed in each with 10 heads. The feeding and housing of the experimental animals were the same. In addition to the main diet the sows of the experimental group were fed the probiotic additive “Profort” at the dose of 500 g/t of feed for 30 days before and 30 days after farrowing. At the second stage the resulting young animals were divided into 3 groups. In addition to the main diet the young animals of the 1st experimental group have been received the probiotic drug “Profort” from 7 to 105 days together with compound feed. Piglets of the 2nd experimental group have been received the probiotic additive from 7 to 30 days. It has been found during of studies that as a result of the use of probiotic additive the prolificacy of sows in the experimental group was higher – 10,6 compared to 10,4 heads in the control group. The livability of piglets for weaning in the experimental group was 97,9 % compared to 93,9 % in the control group. The absolute gain in live weight of piglets from 30 to 105 days in the experimental groups was 34,94–36,98 kg, which was higher than in the control group by 7,9–14,2 %. In the blood of piglets of the experimental groups, the increase in the level of red blood cells, total protein, calcium and phosphorus has been noted.

Increasing the protein nutritional value of rations through the use of legume-grass crops, press-cakes and oil-cakes, complete provision of high-quality animal feed, balanced in protein and other components, is the leading direction of solving the protein problem in animal husbandry and remains an urgent topic for research. The purpose of the research was to study the use of hay and haylage from the mixture of Eastern galega and awnless brome in the rations of first-calf heifers instead of the same feed from the mixture of alfalfa and awnless brome. For carrying out scientific and economic experiments in LLC Kushul in the Dyurtyulinsky district in the Republic of Bashkortostan on the principle of pairs-analogs (breed, live weight, age, level of productivity) four groups of first-calf heifers of Black-and-White breed per 10 heads in each have been selected. The inclusion of 4 kg of hay and 10 kg of haylage in the rations of first-calf heifers of the mixture of Eastern galega and awnless brome has a positive effect on increasing the protein content in milk by 3,1 and 3,4 %, sugar by 0,6 and 0,9 abs.%. There was a steady increase in the milk of cows of the experimental groups: carotene, total calcium and inorganic phosphorus compared to the control group where the animals received 4 kg of hay and 10 kg of haylage of the mixture of alfalfa and awnless brome. Thus, studies have shown that the use in rations of first-calf heifers hay and haylage of mixtures of Eastern galega and awnless brome promotes not only productivity, but also improve milk quality.

The success of the development of beef cattle breeding in the Republic of Buryatia mostly depends on the effectiveness of using animals of Kalmyk breed of different origins in order to increase beef production. The study of the productive traits and expediency of using the gene pool of Kalmyk breed from other regions in comparison with the animals of local selection when breeding beef herds has practical and scientifi c significance. The purpose of the research was to study the productive traits of cattle of Kalmyk breed imported from various climatic zones of Russia. For the experiment, 3 groups of newborn calves of Kalmyk breed of different breeding of 15 heads in each have been selected according to the principle of analogues. The 1st group consisted of steers Kalmyk breed of Buryat breeding, the 2nd – of Kalmyk breeding, the 3rd group – of Rostov breeding. During rearing and feeding, the steers were in the same feeding and housing conditions. During the growth process, the largest live weight at the age of 7 months has been observed in the 1st group of steers received from parents of local reproduction. They surpassed the herdmates of the 2nd group by 3,1 kg or 1,7 %, and the 3rd group by 4,8 kg or 2,7 %. With age the differences in live weight increased at 14 and 18 months the steers of Buryat breeding exceeded their herdmates of the 2nd group by 10,6 kg or 3,4 % and 15,7 kg or 3,8 % (P > 0,95) and the 3rd group by 16,8 kg or 5,4 % (P > 0,95) and 23,5 kg or 5,8 % (Р > 0,99), respectively. A comparative study of the beef productivity of steers of Kalmyk breed obtained under the conditions of the Republic of Buryatia and imported from the Republic of Kalmykia and the Rostov region has shown the advantage of the animals of Buryat breeding, while the herdmates of Rostov selection were the worst, and Kalmyk breeding steers occupied an intermediate position.

The experiment was conducted with forty four pre-pubertal stages female lambs of 12.5±2.5 kg average live weight and 7.5±0.5 months of average age. Animals were equally and randomly allocated into two feeding groups, intensive and semi-intensive feeding systems with 22 animals in each group. Under intensive system, animals were fed concentrate mixture (15.0% crude protein (CP); 11 MJ metabolizable energy (ME)/kg dry matter (DM)) at the rate of 1.5% of live weight with ad libitum green grass from May to November and supplied urea molasses straw (UMS) in place of green grass from December to April. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in service per conception, litter size, lambing interval, gestation length, service period, birth weight and weaning weight between intensive and semi-intensive feeding system. Reproductive traits and productive traits were not affected by feeding system. Conception rate was higher (98.0%) in semi-intensive system than intensive system (83.0%). On the other hand lamb survivability was higher in intensive system than in semi-intensive system. The semi-intensive feeding system is found to be better to rear sheep for commercial purpose compared to intensive feeding system.

Currently, in many countries of the world, there is a positive dynamics of growth in the quail industry. When studying agricultural poultry, quails can serve as a model that characterizes all stages of bird growth, but in for the short period of time. Quails have been studied relatively recently, so there is the need to further study the productive traits of quails in order to have objective data when developing advanced technologies for the production of eggs and quail meat. Today in Russia for obtaining meat of quails, breeds of quail Pharaoh and Texas Whites use mainly. The development of scientific achievements opens up wide opportunities to increase the production of quail products and improve their quality Rearing quails with the right approach is even more cost-effective than rearing broiler chickens. The successful solution of problems in the rearing of quails depends largely on the results of scientific research. It was found according to previous studies that the trait “small egg diameter” is positively associated with the hatchability of eggs and the output of chicks. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of selection by small egg diameter on the reproductive traits of the descendants of laying quails, their egg and meat productivity. The researches have been carried out at the Siberian Scientific and Research Institute of Poultry on quails of Pharaoh breed. The selection of quails based on the trait “small egg diameter” has led to the earlier sexual maturation by 3,2 days, the increase in egg production by 0,70 %, egg weight by 5,67 %, output of chicks by 5,60 %, live weight by 11,06 % (P < 0,001), average daily and absolute gain by 11,17 and 11,24 % (P < 0,001) and slaughter yield by 0,53–2,01 %.

The comprehensive evaluation of the productive traits of the initial genotypes of pigs in the creation of breeding herds using population selection methods has been carried out. Based on the results of evaluating the growth and development of breeding animals using the methods of index selection and DNA testing for the genes markers RYR1, ESR, IGF-2, MUC4 the genealogical structure of breeding herds has been formed on the basis of new stud lines of Belarusian stud type of pigs of Yorkshire breed. It has been found that sows of new lines had high reproduction rates: prolifi cacy was 11,6 piglets, milk capacity was 59,1 kg, number of piglets at weaning was 11,2 heads, and litter weight at weaning was 103,6 kg. The breeding herd of two new stud lines is represented by boars of the line Drug 6805 and Dobry 2313. The average productivity of boars-line continuers was: the age of reaching a live weight of 100 kg to 160 days, the average daily gain from birth to reaching the live weight of 100 kg was 636 g. At the age of 12 months, the live weight and body length of replacement boars were 268 kg and 175 cm, the thickness of the fat was 8,9 mm, the height of the longest back muscle was 51,5 mm, the content of lean meat in the body was 62,6 %, which corresponds to the class “elite”. Boars have been separated into reproductive traits. Improvement of lines is carried out through the continuators of related groups. Analysis of genetic studies of animals of new stud lines has shown that they have a high frequency of occurrence of desirable alleles by genes: RYR1 (stress-resistant animals) – 1,0; IGF-2 (fattening and meat traits) – 0,783; ESR (reproductive traits) – 0,608; MUC4 – (resistance to escherichiosis) – 0,786.

The effectiveness and competitiveness of sheep breeding directly depends on increasing the productivity of animals and improving the quality of products obtained from them, and this has been achieving by targeted breeding using the genetic potential of sheep breeds. The solution to this problem can be implemented through the rational use of breed resources of domestic and imported sheep breeding. Sheep breeding in Kazakhstan is the oldest branch of animal husbandry, which plays a major role in providing the national economy with specifi c types of raw materials and food. Sheep produce the largest amount of various products: wool for diff erent purposes, mutton, fat raw materials, sheep’s milk, sheep skin-fur-leather raw materials, lamb pelts. The whole of Kazakhstan and the West Kazakhstan region are characterized by a wide variety of natural, climatic and economic factors that have a specifi c infl uence on the development of sheep breeding in certain regions. In the West Kazakhstan region breeding work is carried out in a herd of Akzhaik wool-and-meat producing sheep to improve individual productive indicators by using the genetic potential of the gene pool of diff erent semifi ne-wool breeds, so breeding and improvement in order to increase the productivity of Akzhaik meat-wool sheep with double productivity is relevant and has great economic signifi cance. The inheritance and correlation of productive traits in Akzhaik wool-and-meat producing sheep obtained from diff erent mating options have been studied in the paper. It has been established that the inheritance of the main economically useful traits is additive in nature in an intermediate type with minor deviations towards one of the parent forms. The coeffi cients of heritability of live weight, clip, length and fi ber fi neness of wool are within the average values. The highest correlation coeffi cients (0,65–0,70) have been found in all groups between the length and fi ber fi neness of wool.

The intensification of animal husbandry in recent years has led to a significant increase in the productivity of farm animals. The use of modern breeding methods has led to a decrease in genetic diversity and the spread of recessive lethal and semi-lethal mutations in the animal genome. In the world population of cattle of Holstein rather high rates of fertility haplotypes have been identified that affect reproductive traits as well as those associated with embryonic and post-embryonic mortality at various stages. The results of an investigation of Holstein cows of Dutch origin (n=70) are housed in one of the breeding farms of the Rostov region for the presence of 4 fertility haplotypes: HCD (APOB), HH0 (FANCI), HH3 (SMC2) and HH5 (TFB1M) have been presented in the article. The researches have been performed as part of the task of the Federal Agency of Scientific Organizations No. AAAA18-118021590138-1. In order to diagnose mutations test systems developed in the laboratory of molecular principles of selection of the Department of biotechnology and molecular diagnostics of animals of the Federal Research Center of Animal Husbandry – All-Russian Institute of Animal Husbandry named after academician L. K. Ernst have been used. Hidden carriers of haplotypes HCD, HH0 and HH3 have been identified in the studied group of cows. The frequency of HCD, HH0, and HH3 haplotypes was 1,43 %, 7,14 and 4,29 %, respectively. Carriers of the HH5 haplotype have been not found in the studied sample of Holstein cows. The results of molecular genetic testing have been confirmed by the analysis of pedigrees. The development of methods for diagnosing genetic anomalies and identifying loci associated with the decrease in productive trait as well as continuous monitoring of breeding stock will allow selecting animals that have high productive traits and are not burdened with genetic defects and malformations.
