For a short period of time (2001-2018), there was an increase in poultry meat production by 5.5 times and eggs by 27% in Russia. The main factor in increasing production in the poultry industry was the implementation of innovative processes and integrated technical and technological modernization. In order to maintain the momentum and continue the progressive development of poultry production, it is necessary to ensure that its competitiveness is increased, taking into account the existing and forecasted future challenges.
