Проблема и цель. Цель исследований – установить генотипические различия по убойным показателям чистопородных и помесных телок, полученных от скрещивания красной степной и голштинской пород, для более широкого использования эффекта гетерозиса в целях увеличения мясной продуктивности. Методология. Для проведения исследования были сформированы 3 группы телочек по 15 голов в каждой: I – красная степная порода, II – ½ голштин х ½ красная степная,III – ¾ голштин х¼ красная степная. По результатам контрольного убоя телок были определены убойные качества и морфологический состав. Качество полученной мясной продукции устанавливали путем определения морфологического состава полутуши и расчета полученного индекса мясности, соотношения съедобных и несъедобных частей туши, выхода мякоти на 100 кг предубойной живой массы. Результаты. Результаты исследований показали, что вследствие проявления эффекта скрещивания помесные телки превосходили чистопородных сверстниц по массе полутуши на 10,9 кг (12,0 %, Р<0,001) и 3,9 кг (4,3 %, Р<0,001), тогда как помеси 2-го поколения несколько уступали помесям 1-го поколения на 7,0 кг (7,4 %, Р<0,01). Неодинаковый выход мякоти у телок разных генотипов был обусловлен межгрупповыми различиями по массе полутуши. Было установлено, что помеси 1-го поколения превосходили по абсолютной массе мякоти телок красной степной породы на 9,3 кг (13,1 %, Р<0,001), а также по относительной – на 0,8 %, а помесей 2-го поколения, соответственно, на 6,0 кг (8,1 %, Р<0,01) и 0,5 %. В свою очередь, помеси 2-го поколения превосходили своих чистопородных сверстниц по изучаемым показателям на 3,3 кг (4,7 %, Р<0,05) и 0,3 % соответственно. Заключение. В результате исследований было установлено положительное влияние скрещивания на убойные показатели и качество мясной продукции. Problem and purpose. The aim of the research is to establish genotypic diferences in the slaughter parameters of purebred and crossbred heifers obtained from crossing red steppe and Holstein breeds, for a wider use of the heterosis efect in order to increase meat productivity. Methodology. To conduct the study, 3 groups of heifers were formed with 15 heads each: I – red steppe breed, II – ½ Holstein x ½ red steppe, III - ¾ Holstein x ¼ red steppe. According to the results of the control slaughter of heifers, the slaughter qualities and morphological composition were determined. The quality of the obtained meat products was determined by examining the morphological composition of the half-carcass and calculating the resulting meat content index, the ratio of edible and inedible parts of the carcass, the yield of meat per 100 kg of pre-slaughter live weight. Results. The results of the research showed that due to the efect of crossbreeding, crossbred heifers outnumbered purebred peers by 10.9 kg (12.0 %, P<0.001) and 3.9 kg (4.3 %, P<0.001), while crossbreeds of the 2nd generation were slightly inferior to crossbreeds of the 1st generation by 7.0 kg (7.4 %, P<0.01). The uneven yield of meat in heifers of diferent genotypes was due to intergroup diferences in the mass of the half-carcass. It was found that hybrids of the 1st generation surpassed red steppe breed heifers by the absolute mass of meat by 9.3 kg (13.1 %, P<0.001), and relative – 0.8 %, and hybrids of the 2nd generation, respectively, 6.0 kg (8.1 percent, P<0.01) and 0.5 %. In turn, crossbreeds of the 2nd generation exceeded their purebred peers in the studied indicators by 3.3 kg (4.7 %, P<0.05) and 0.3%, respectively. Conclusion. As a result of the research, a positive efect of crossbreeding on slaughter indicators and the quality of meat products was established.

One of the most effective ways of removing HM salts that have entered the digestive tract of fattened animals is the technological method of including adsorbent preparations in their diets, which, binding various toxins, excrete them from the body. The study purpose is to develop a method to increase the meat productivity and quality of meat of young cattle for fattening in a technogenic zone by inclusion of ToxySorb adsorbent in their diets with a high content of heavy metal salts in the amount of 1.25 kg/t of compound feed and lecithin in the amount of 10 g/100 kg of live weight. According to study results, it was shown that when these drugs were fed together in the indicated quantities, it contributed to better detoxification of xenobiotics. The calf bulls of experimental group 3 had the best slaughter indicators, as well as the best consumer, sanitary and hygienic properties of meat products.

Abstract The paper presents the results of fattening young cattle in the conditions of Yakutia with the use of complex feed additives from local natural raw materials in their diets. One of the ways to increase the meat productivity of livestock is to optimize feeding by inserting complex feed additives into their diets. Therefore, studies were conducted to determine the effectiveness of complex feed additives in the fattening of young cattle in the conditions of Yakutia. At the beginning of the experiment, the live weight of the animals in the groups did not differ much, but starting from the age of 12 months, the superiority of the animals from the experimental groups is noted. In the period of 12-15 months of age, the animals from the experimental groups exceeded the growth rate of the control group by 6.70% and 4.76%. In the period of 15-18 months old, the animals of the control group were inferior to the experimental groups by 28.31% and 16.54%. On average, the animals of the experimental groups grew more intensively in comparison with the control group by 12.73% and 8.66 %. Analysis of animal slaughter data showed that the experimental groups were superior to the control group in a number of indicators, such as the mass of the steam carcass by 8.04% and 4.43 %, the mass of visceral fat by 18.59% and 7.39%. The organoleptic evaluation of meat products also confirmed the superiority of the experimental groups over the control group. Thus, the use of complex feed additives in the feeding of young cattle on fattening showed its effectiveness.

This paper presents the results of studying the conversion of feed into nutrients in the carcass of bulls during the fattening of young Kalmyk breed in the conditions of Yakutia. The studies were carried out on the basis of the Soloosun agricultural production complex, Megino-Kangalassky region. The experiment was organized on Kalmyk bull-calves fed from 15 to 18 months of age. There were formed 2 groups of 25 bulls analogs: the control and the experimental one. The animals of the control group were fed according to the ration adopted on the farm. The diet of the animals from the experimental group included 200 g of Hongurin zeolite and 45 g of Kempendyai salt per animal. The main ration of animals by structure consisted of meadow hay 46%, haylage – 22% and compound feed 32% or 12.57 EFU per day. At the beginning of the experiment, the live weight of the animals was almost identical. At the end of fattening, the bulls of the experimental group in live weight exceeded the animals of the control group by 10.9 kg. Consequently, the experienced bulls had higher bioconversion rates, which was reflected in an increase in the meat productivity of animals. The analysis showed that the control group of bulls was inferior to the experimental group in terms of pulp by 11 kg., In the deposition of food protein by 1.3 kg. The calculation of the data on the conversion of protein into food protein showed that in the control group this indicator is 5%, and in the experimental group it was 6.2%. The yield of dietary protein in the control group was 40.4 g, in the experimental group – 52.8 g. Thus, the calculation of bioconversion showed that the animals of the experimental groups, which additionally consumed Hongurin zeolite and Kempendyai salt, had a higher ability to transfer nutrients and feed energy into meat products. The indicators of economic efficiency per 100 heads of fattening bulls of the Kalmyk breed are: profitability – 122.53%, cost price 1132 thousand rubles, profit – 1,388 thousand rubles, profit – 1.23 rubles per 1 ruble costs. The efficiency of beef production at a specialized feedlot increases by 22.53%.

In connection with the increasing requirements for the quality of beef, the need for further technological solutions improvement for the cultivation and fattening of beef calves, aimed at improving meat productivity, ensuring not only the quality, but also the safety of meat, has acquired particular relevance. Data on the production of environmentally friendly raw meat obtained in the foothill zone of Karachay-Cherkessia from the bulls of the Aberdeen-Angus breed in modern conditions of the development of the meat industry are presented in the article. During the growth and development of animals, significant qualitative and quantitative changes occur, associated with an increase in weight and a change in the morphological composition of the carcass. The morphological composition of carcasses, meat yield and its chemical composition in the final period of fattening were studied. When calves reached the slaughter live weight, slaughter was carried out and the meat qualities were studied. Carcass weight was 320.2 kg (carcass yield - 57.2%); boneless beef - 266.7 kg (84.9% of chilled carcass). 58.7% (156.6 kg) of the meat was lean; 30.6% attributed to fatty beef. The moisture content of the combined minced meat was 70.9%; protein - 20.4%; fat - 7.7%; ash - 1.0%. Meat safety was determined from the average sample of minced meat. In terms of chemical composition and safety, beef meets the requirements of the interstate standard GOST 32855-2014 for raw meat. Thus, the maintenance and feeding of young cattle on the foothill pastures of the North Caucasus, used later for meat, provides moderate-intensive and extensive feeding with an insignificant inclusion of concentrates in the diet.

The article presents the results of the control slaughter of 8 months. rams after feeding with feeding, obtained from the selection of semi-fine-fleece queens of Akzhaik meat and wool sheep with producers of Akzhaik and Kuibyshev breeds. Studies have shown that the KB x AKMSh crosses before feeding with feeding had a better live weight than purebred peers. During the feeding period with feeding in terms of the rate of gain in live weight, the Kuibyshev rams' hybrids retained their superiority. Feeding qualities of crossbred animals in the variant of selection of KB x AKMSh in comparison with purebred AKMSh x AKMSh indicates their better use of feed and better live weight. Consideration of the quantitative and qualitative traits of meat productivity in the studied genotypes revealed the superiority of the KB x AKMSh genotype over the AKMSh x AKMSh genotype in terms of fresh carcass weight, slaughter weight, slaughter yield, muscle tissue content in the carcass and meat content coefficient. For all groups, the slaughter yield was 47.8 -48.7%. The meat content coefficient at the control slaughter of young animals at 8 months indicates the influence of producers of all groups, with somewhat better meat and wool rams in Kuibyshev, on improving the meat quality of carcasses. Analysis of the results of studies of the chemical composition of muscle tissue indicates certain differences in the amount of its chemical components in the studied animals, depending on the genotype. The muscle tissue of the KB x AKMSh genotype contained less moisture, but more protein and fat in comparison with the meat of akzhaik purebred animals. There were no significant changes in the amount of ash, calcium and phosphorus in the muscle tissue of young animals of different genotypes. In general, the carcasses of all the rams were well formed and characterized the sheep of the meat and wool direction of productivity with the best slaughter indicators from the producers of the Kuibyshev breed.

The purpose of the work was to study and identify the main factors aff ecting the quantity and quality of beef produced and sold in the Southern Federal district. A comparative assessment of the growth, development, formation of meat productivity and quality of beef of young animals of beef, dual and dairy breeds with stall-pasture technology and intensive rearing in the industrial complex. Experimental studies have been carried out in farms in the Rostov region. The object of research was cows with calves of Kalmyk, Hereford, Aberdeen-Angus, Russian komolaya, Kazakh White-headed breeds, as well as young animals of the same breeds, in addition, Black-and-White and Swiss breeds. Removable live weight in Hereford steers at 18 months of age was 658,0 kg, and Aberdeen-Angus – 655,2 kg. Domestic steers of Kalmyk were 41–44 kg lower in live weight than their herdmates of two imported breeds. However, with intensive rearing at 18 months of age, steers of Kalmyk breed had a removable live weight of more than 613,7 kg and a carcass weight of 326 kg. The yield of hot carcass was 55,4 %, and the slaughter yield was 58,89 %, which was only 1–2 % lower than the world’s leading beef breeds. It has been found when analyzing the results of boning the half-carcasses of experimental steers that the biggest weight of half-carcasses and the content of muscle and fat tissue in them in absolute terms were in Hereford steers. Steers of Kalmyk breed took the third place in terms of weight of large-sized semi–fi nished products and signifi cantly lost to Aberdeen-Angus herdmates by 7,3 kg or 6,5 %, and Hereford steers by 9,2 kg or 8,3 %. The results obtained prove the expediency of using stallpasture technology in the dry-steppe zone of the Southern Federal district when rearing young animals for beef up to 350–400 kg live weight at 15 months of age and its subsequent intensive rearing under industrial technology, in order to obtain the live weight of more than 570 kg and produce cost-eff ective beef.

The results of evaluating the breeding value of rams of different genotypes by a wide range of productivity indicators of their descendants are presented. Tribal rams of the Kharkov interbreed type of Prekos breed of 2-3 years of age, as well as crosses from the introductory crossing of Prekos sheep with the Romanov breed and Merinolandsheep, were evaluated. The resulting offspring were grown under the conditions of one production flock. The evaluation considered the indicators of the reproductive ability of ewes, sex and type of birth of the offspring, the safety of lambs from birth to 20 days of age, the dynamics of the average daily growth of daughters in the uterus and at the age of birth to 20 days and from 21 to 90 days, live weight indicators were considered, cutting and length of hair of daughters at the age of 14 months. Studies have established that the average yield of lambs throughout the sample was 115.3 % per 100 ewes, with significant differences between the estimated producers - from 105.1 to 131.3 %. This indicator did not have a definite relationship with the genotype of the estimated sheep. Among the offspring of all rams, males slightly prevail over females in the ratio of 1.09 to 1. This advantage is due to the large number of rams born among same-sex twins. Their part exceeded 28 %, while only 23.4 % turned out to be similar in type of birth. By the sum of the ranks that were put to individual sheep for the indicators of the average daily growth of daughters at different periods of their growth, the best cross-breed sheep No. 1625 and No. 9953 are distinguished. On the whole, there is a fairly clear tendency for a positive relationship between the ranks for the growth rate in the embryonic period and the same indicator for posterity aged 21-90 days. According to both the ranking and the probity-based evaluation results, ram No. 1625 (a created line based on crossing with the Romanov breed) is assigned to complex improvers. The rest topping ram out to be improvers of individual traits, and the producer of the breed Prekos No. 1823 was an improvement in production of wool and length of staple. Ram No. 1960 turned out to be a complex deteriorator in the quality of offspring. The descendants of rams No. 4464 and 9953, derived from the breed of Merino landscape, reliably (p≤0.01), by 18.6-20.8 % in terms of wool coefficients, are inferior to the daughters of ram No. 1823, breed Prekos, which is an unconditional evidence of the strengthening of their characters meat productivity over wool one.

We performed have performed a comprehensive analysis of the meat productivity of cattle received for slaughter and primary processing at “Uvinsky meat factory” OOO of the Uvinsky district in the Udmurt Republic. The studies were carried out based on data from plumb lines for 2020. During the research, it was revealed that only two districts (Uvinsky and Vavozhsky) had got cattle in 2020, from which they obtained carcasses of the “super” category (21 pieces). This is the highest grade in terms of categorization. Meanwhile, the main range of carcasses of young cattle was assessed in the categories “extra”, “excellent” and “good” (1311 carcasses). However, there were also farms from which carcasses of the “low” fatness category were obtained (Uvinsky, Seltinsky and Vavozhsky districts) (42 carcasses). Based on the results of the commodity evaluation of carcasses of adult cattle, it is worth noting that most of the carcasses were quite well-fed and were rated in the first category. By the end of 2020, the company has obtained meat in carcasses from young cattle in the amount of 608.8 tons. Meanwhile, 917.5 tons of meat were produced in live weight. The meat volume in the carcasses of adult cattle was 180, 1 ton. In live weight, 386, 5 tons were obtained. Given the percentage of beef sales per year and the maximum yield of boneless meat, the company is not capable of fully meeting the needs of all high-level processing shops.

The article presents the results of studies of the bioconversion of nutrients and feed energy into meat products when fattening young Kalmyk breed in Yakutia. The studies were carried out on the basis of the SCHPK Soloyun Megino-Kangalassky region. The experiment was organized on Kalmyk gobies fed from 17 to 18 months of age. For the experiments, 2 groups of animals were formed, which were divided into control and experimental groups. The control group consumed the main diet, the experimental group additionally consumed 200 g of Suntarsky zeolite per head. The main diet of animals by structure consisted of meadow hay 46%, haylage – 22% and mixed fodder 32% or 11.95 ECU per day. During the experiment, the live weight of the animals was almost identical. At the end of fattening, the animals of the control group yielded to the bulls of the experimental group by 3.5%. It was found that the gobies of the experimental group had higher indicators of meat productivity, which affected bioconversion. The analysis showed that the control group of bulls yielded to the experimental group in terms of pulp by 26.9%, in the deposition of food protein by 13.6%. The conversion rate of protein into food protein in the control group was 12.0%, and in the experimental group the indicator was 21.3%. The yield of dietary protein in the control group was 8.08 g, which is 33.6% less than in the experimental group. Thus, the calculation of bioconversion showed that the animals of the experimental groups, which additionally consumed Suntarsky zeolite, had a higher ability to transform nutrients and feed energy into meat products.

Статья отражает исследования по применению свежей пивной дробины в кормлении бычков на заключительном этапе откорма и сухой пивной дробины при выращивании ремонтных телок в возрасте 6-12 месяцев, которые показали ее положительное влияние на качество кормовых рационов и продуктивность животных. В основном рационе контрольных групп часть комбикорма заменяли пивной дробиной: при откорме бычков – 5 кг свежей дробины взамен 1 кг комбикорма, при выращивании телок – 0,5 кг сухой дробины взамен аналогичного количества комбикорма. За счет применения пивной дробины была повышена протеиновая ценность рационов и оптимизирован их микроминеральный состав, что способствовало активизации обмена веществ в организме животных и повышению их продуктивности. У бычков опытной группы живая масса в конце откорма и среднесуточный прирост были, соответственно, выше на 2,5 % и 7,4 %, нежели у контрольных животных. Данные показатели у телочек опытной группы были выше контрольных значений на 4,1 и 6,5 % соответственно. Затраты энергетических кормовых единиц на 1 кг прироста живой массы у животных опытных групп были ниже на 7,3-7,6 % в сравнении с контролем. Установлена экономическая целесообразность применения свежей и сухой пивной дробины в рационах молодняка крупного рогатого скота, так как за счет повышения интенсивности роста животных и значительной экономии зерновых кормов себестоимость 1 кг прироста живой массы, полученного на рационах с дробиной, была ниже на 6,2 % у телочек и на 10,4 % у бычков. The article reflects studies on the use of fresh spent grain when feeding bulls at the final stage of fattening and dry spent grain when growing replacement heifers aged 6-12 months, which showed its positive effect on the quality of feed rations and animal productivity. Part of the mixed fodder in the main diet of the control groups was replaced with spent grain. Bull calves got 5 kg of fresh spent grain instead of 1 kg of the mixed fodder and heifers got 0.5 kg of dry spent grain instead of the same amount of the mixed fodder. Thanks to pent grain, the protein value of diets was increased and their micro mineral composition was optimized, which contributed to the activation of metabolism in animals and increased their productivity. The live weight of the bulls of the experimental group at the end of the fattening was 2.5% higher than that in the control animals and the average daily gain was 7.4% higher. These indicators in the heifers of the experimental group were higher than the control values by 4.1% and 6.5%, respectively. The cost of energy feed units per 1 kg of increase in live weight in animals of the experimental groups was lower by 7.3-7.6%, compared with the control. The economic feasibility of using fresh and dry spent grain in the diets of young cattle was established, since due to an increase in the growth rate of animals and significant savings in grain feed, the cost of 1 kg of live weight gain obtained from rations with spent grain was 6.2% lower in heifers and 10.4% in bulls.
