CHAPTER 6.1. ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION OF DECREASING THE COST OF BEEF PRODUCTION IN MEAT CATTLE BREEDING IN THE CARPATHIAN REGION OF BUKOVYNA

Abstract

The scientific work is devoted to the justification of the reduction of the cost of production of high-quality beef with the introduction of a new progressive technology of meat cattle breeding in the Carpathian region of Ukraine. The work revealed that among the factors that determine the productivity of beef cattle, the level and volume of livestock production, the full and uninterrupted supply of ruminants with diverse, complete and cheap own feed is of decisive importance. It is noted that in this region there is a need to provide ruminant animals with fodder that would positively affect their productivity, provide proteins and vitamins necessary for normal life. As a result of the conducted research, recommendations were proposed for the meat cattle industry aimed at improving the natural state and breeding qualities of beef cattle, deepening specialization, achieving the optimal concentration of livestock and mastering intensive technologies of selection, breeding, feeding and maintenance of ruminants in the Bukovyna region.
