Abstract
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.
Highlights
In the Russian Federation, the level of beef production and consumption is not growing today
The current condition could not be improved even by two programs for the development of beef cattle breeding, developed by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation since 2009.During these programs, about 90 billion rubles were invested in the industry [1, 2, 3]
Due to the inadequate amount of high-quality Russian meat raw materials, the refiners are forced to import it from Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Belarus and Argentina [4, 5, 6]
Summary
In the Russian Federation, the level of beef production and consumption is not growing today. This branch of animal husbandry has been in a stagnant condition for the last twenty years. In 1991, the level of beef production was at least 4.0 million tons per year. The main meat processing companies prefer only high-quality meat raw materials. Due to the inadequate amount of high-quality Russian meat raw materials, the refiners are forced to import it from Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Belarus and Argentina [4, 5, 6]
