Abstract
The article presents the results of a retrospective analysis of the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the meat cattle industry in the Carpathian region of Bukovyna. It is shown that domestic herds of a new population of the Bukovyna zonal type of hornless Simmental beef cattle have been formed, which are characterized by the following selection and production indicators: live weight of cows 550–650 kg, milk yield for 210 days 215–235 kg, intensity of growth of young animals on suckling in summer 950–1500 g/day, daily gains for the entire growing period 900–950 g, carcass weight at the age of 18–24 months 265–275 kg, slaughter yield 60.1–61.2%, reduction in the cost of maintenance – 8–12%, profitability of 17–21% with an economic effect of UAH 950 per year without state support for obtaining cheap beef in the Carpathian zone. According to the research results, it was established that in the past the following bulls-progenitors were widely used: Forest 0899, Ivor 1001 of line Achilles 369; Micron 3981 and Major 1351 of line Abricott 58311; Apollon 1843, Maskit 1822, Svitiaz 1865, Anthracyt 1868, Exterier 4865, Kaban 1856 of line Signal 120; Khmuryi 9967 of line Zelott 016040491 and others, which ensured obtaining average daily gains of 950–1150 g at feed costs of 7.1–7.5 feed units for the entire growing cycle in the conditions of different climatic zones of the Carpathian region
