Did COVID-19 grants support tourism firms in securing survival and employment? Evidence from Croatia

This study is one of first large scale evaluations of the impact of government subsidies for tourism firms during the COVID-19 pandemic. We use the population of micro, small, and medium sized tourism enterprises from Croatia, one of the most tourism-intensive European economies, to investigate whether receipt and the size of subsidies helped distressed companies to stay in business and retain their employees during the first two years of the pandemic. In this study, a novel perspective of grant size effect is introduced to examine the effect of public stimuli on the tourism industry. Positive effects of support on firm survival and employment of subsidised firms are inversely proportional to the size of support. Thus, the findings indicate the need for a dynamic and nuanced approach to public support that considers firms’ heterogeneity in the tourism sector. This study could help policymakers manage potential future crises more effectively.

Costs of Coal Abatement for Residential Heating to Reduce Urban Air Pollution in Asian Russia: Evidence from Krasnoyarsk

Heat and electricity generation are major sources of air pollution in many large cities worldwide. In Siberian cities, the heat supply significantly contributes to air pollution, as coal remains the primary energy fuel in most of Asian Russia. Krasnoyarsk, the second-largest city in the macro-region by population, serves as a clear example of urban air pollution. In recent years, public authorities have implemented several measures to reduce pollutant emissions. These measures include modernizing thermal power stations, replacing inefficient small boiler houses, and converting residential heating to more environmentally friendly types of fuel. However, our analysis shows that these policies have not yet resulted in a significant transition away from using coal for heating. One of the primary reasons is that alternative fuels are unable to compete with coal in terms of price. The proposal suggests transitioning private households to pellet heating. Our goal is to evaluate the potential environmental and economic impacts of this measure. We estimate the necessary subsidy size for the successful implementation of both initiatives. In conclusion, converting households from coal to pellet heating can reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, and suspended particles by 0.2%, 8.5%, 4.4%, and 2.7%, respectively, of the total pollutant emissions in Krasnoyarsk. Furthermore, this conversion can provide economic benefits by supporting local pellet producers who heavily rely on export markets. If practically implemented, the proposed approach could solve one of the most significant development issues of one of the largest Russian cities within a few years, with only 2.5% of the annual city budget expenditure.

The availability, price, and characteristics of low sodium salt based on an online salt market survey in China: Implications for scaling up its use.

Low sodium salt (LSS) is an effective way to reduce the primary source of sodium from home cooking. To investigate the availability, price and characteristics of LSS, price gap between LSS and regular salt, and the potential size of subsidy needed to equalize the price of LSS and regular salt. A market survey of salts was conducted using two major online shopping sites JD and Taobao from November to December 2022. Of 360 salts, 76 (21.1%) are LSS and 284 (78.9%) are regular salt. The average proportion of potassium chloride is low (16.8%), and half of the brands contain less than 15% and only 6.6% contains ≥25%. The mean price of LSS is slightly but not significantly higher than that of regular salts (1.82 versus 1.67 yuan/100g, p=.07). In the lowest quartile by price, the cost of LSS is significantly higher than regular salts (difference 0.13, p=.0048). Further, when comparing the lowest price LSS to the lowest price regular since within the same brand, the mean price LSS is 2.11-fold that of the regular salt (1.66 versus 0.79 yuan/100g, p<.05). The price of iodized LSS is also significantly higher than that of iodized regular salt (1.86 verse 1.44 yuan/100g, p=.044). An annual subsidy based on the difference in price in the first quartile would cost 4.75 yuan per capita. A variety of LSS are available in China's salt market.

Prospects for Food Security of the Republic of Kazakhstan

The food security is one of the main economy sectors that identifies contemporary state of the country. This paper gives a background for the Kazakhstan’s current situation of food security. In the last three years’ Kazakhstan faced one of the biggest challenges since its independence. Global pandemic COVID-19 and conflict between Russia and Ukraine that led to devaluation of the tenge and high inflation rate. Shows where work needs to be done and how existing prospects can be supported. Also, the main threats and opportunities were analyzed through SWOT analyzing method. As a result, to improve the efficiency of managing the process of ensuring food security, it is necessary to improve the scientific justification of the developed state and regional programs; transform them into intersectoral models aimed at stimulating the production of final products of the agro-food complex; constantly inform rural producers about the activities of these programs; increase the size of subsidies and the level of cre

Subsidy allocation strategies for power industry’s clean transition under Bayesian Nash equilibrium

Government subsidies are widely acknowledged as a potent instrument for motivating the power industry toward a clean transition. However, existing literature fails to address interactions between government and firms’ strategic behaviors under incomplete information. This study proposes a novel game-theoretic model that considers power firms’ heterogeneous transition potentials and multiple policy targets to optimize subsidy allocation strategies. The result demonstrates the existence of a Bayesian Nash equilibrium solution and determines the threshold of transition potential above which firms would transition. Furthermore, an equal-splitting strategy is the only optimal subsidy allocation strategy for maximizing the transitioning firm number. Moreover, the uncertainty of participation and the existence of emission penalties will increase the optimal subsidy size targeting carbon emissions reduction. Interestingly, our comparative analysis suggests that the government should refrain from consistently expanding the industry and the subsidy budget to promote transition and reduce carbon emissions, as such actions increase the volatility of policy implementation and decrease the relative subsidy levels for power firms.

How damaging are environmental policy targets in terms of welfare?

International environmental agreements can lead to the design of environmental policy targets for individual countries. One of the most timely examples are targets aiming at increasing the share of renewable energy production in the overall energy mix. To reach these targets, corresponding governments must stimulate the private sector to undertake sufficient investments in time. This paper studies the effect of a subsidy on the probability of reaching a policy target and on the resulting welfare. The subsidy in the form of a fixed price support accelerates investment and increases the investment size. As such it helps to reach a policy target in time, but also has its own effects on the total surplus, the latter being the sum of producer and consumer surplus. The paper defines a new measure, “the expected Total Surplus corresponding to the Policy Target” abbreviated by TSPT, which takes all these effects into account, including the penalty that is incurred upon not reaching the policy target. Based on the TSPT we determine the optimal subsidy size. We find that a policy target increases the optimal subsidy size. An international policy target can cause a tradeoff in the sense that a large investment is required to achieve the target, while at the same time such a large investment is bad in terms of total surplus. We also find that targets designed with earlier deadlines and intermediate levels of target sizes are more effective in motivating governments to reach the target with a high likelihood. A larger penalty can induce more subsidy support from the government, but always harms total surplus.

Rice growing in Kazakhstan: internal reserves and competitiveness

The goal is to determine the current state and development trends of agricultural enterprises in the Kyzylorda region of the Republic of Kazakhstan and their economic potential, directions for innovative development and increasing profitability of rice production. Methods – systematic approach, comparisons, systematization, generalization of data. Results – rice takes the third place in the menu of Kazakhstanis after bread and meat. Rice growing is an important component of ensuring the country's food security and has great export opportunities. The problems of the industry are shown, which reduce the volume of cultivation of this crop, limit exports, and do not contribute to improving the quality of products and expanding their market: low level of material and technical equipment; creation of cluster farms; lack of high-yielding zoned varieties; integration between the subjects of agro-industrial complex in the process of processing, storage, transportation. Conclusions – the study allowed the authors to prioritize the expansion of crop rotation and the use of highly productive species; formation of investment funds from nonbudgetary and budgetary sources; the use of the leasing mechanism as a means of providing the necessary equipment at competitive prices; development of a system of agrotechnical measures, while it is recommended to improve the condition of inter-farm and on-farm main canals, drainage systems, in order to increase their efficiency. The increase in the range of rice products is the result of the interaction of organizational-production, natural-climatic and socio-economic factors. The special role of the introduction of resource-saving and innovative technologies is emphasized, which is impossible without public support for agricultural producers in reconstruction of rice irrigation systems, subsidizing seed production, updating mechanization, and buying fertilizers. The need to increase the size of subsidies is associated with a sharp increase in prices for fuels and lubricants and other inventory items for sowing and harvesting.

Does Proximity to a Power Plant Affect Housing Property Values of a City in South Korea? An Empirical Investigation

The South Korean government plans to switch from a centralized power generation method to a distributed one. However, due to opposition from local residents, construction of distributed power plants is frequently delayed or suspended. This study attempts to investigate whether proximity to a power plant negatively affects housing property values, using the hedonic pricing technique and quantitatively analyzing the level of impact. To this end, 2291 apartment sales data from a specific city in the South Korean Seoul Metropolitan area with a power plant were used. As a result of the analysis, it was found that proximity to a power plant had a negative effect on apartment prices, which was statistically significant at the significance level of 5%. The difference in apartment prices per 1 km direct distance from the power plant to the apartment was derived as KRW 8 million (USD 7.1 thousand). This value is about 0.7% of the average price of apartments in the area (KRW 1102 million = USD 0.98 thousand). The results of this study can be used as a useful reference when the government determines the size of subsidies for local residents near power plants.

Don’t stop me now: Incremental capacity growth under subsidy termination risk

Once a subsidy scheme is close to reaching its goal or loses political support, it may be terminated. An important question for policy makers is how to minimize the negative impact of the risk of subsidy termination on industrial investment. We assume the social planner aims to increase capacity and welfare and uses a subsidy, which has an uncertain lifetime, for the purpose. We examine a monopolist supplying an uncertain demand, faced with the option to expand capacity by irreversibly investing in small increments. We find that the firm installs capacity expansions sooner and, consequently, installs a larger capacity than a firm without a subsidy. A firm’s total investment during the subsidy’s lifetime increases with both the subsidy size and the likelihood of subsidy withdrawal. However, this happens at the cost of less investment directly after the subsidy has been retracted. The optimal subsidy size strongly depends on the point in time at which the social planner aims to maximize the welfare — the further into the future, the larger the welfare optimal subsidy. Furthermore, the welfare optimal subsidy size strongly depends on the social planner’s discretion over adjustments to the subsidy size.

지방교육재정교부금법의 국가 재원 확보 변천과정과 쟁점 분석

The study analyzed the whole changes and issues of the Local Education Finance Grant Act in terms of sufficiency and stability of Local Education Financial Grant which was secured by the central government. The study collected and analyzed the minutes of the National Assembly meetings, government data, and related prior research related to the enactment and revision of the Local Education Finance Grant Act. The findings were as follows: first, the Local Education Financial Grant Act tried to secure the sufficiency and stability of education finance in terms of securing financial resources to complete compulsory middle school education and introduce free education for early childhood education and upper secondary education. However, since the measures to secure financial resources for early childhood education and free high school education are both temporary, it is necessary to ensure the sufficiency and stability by stipulating a method for securing finance in the Grant Act. Second, it is highly recommended to estimate the appropriate size of Local Education Finance Grants through analysis of the demand for local education finance. The Local Education Financial Grant Act is subject to controversy over environmental changes due to a sharp drop in the number of students and the appropriateness of the subsidy size. Third, it is also necessary to design methods of securing financial resources such as Grant for teachers’ salaries and allowances in the future.

What types of political regimes subsidize fuel consumption?

Recent studies suggest that political institutions have little impact on the size of consumer fossil fuel subsidies, concluding instead that subsidies reflect country-specific and slowly changing economic factors. Such findings bode poorly for reforming these costly policies. I argue that this conclusion stems from an overly narrow view of the kinds of non-democratic regimes that exist. I introduce a large literature from political science that distinguishes “electoral authoritarian” regimes from other non-democracies and develop a theoretical argument connecting the former's reliance on broad-based public support to higher levels of fossil fuel subsidies. I test the argument using a price-gap measure of domestic consumer gasoline subsides for more than 160 countries for most years between 1990 and 2014. The results demonstrate that the emergence of electoral authoritarianism is associated with larger fuel subsidies, and that an increase in hydrocarbon production revenue has a larger impact on the size of subsidies within electoral authoritarian systems than in other regime types. Reform efforts must acknowledge this political logic while focusing on how to offset subsidies with less environmentally harmful measures.

Действующие нормативы перевода льнотресты сортов льна-долгунца в условное волокно с оценкой результативности их использования

Abstract. The purpose of the research is the development of standards for the transfer of modern flax varieties of domestic and foreign selection into conventional fiber with an analysis of the problems arising in the course of their application and the proposal of ways for their rational solution. Methods. According to the current regulatory documentation using a special methodological program, the values of the following characteristics were determined: the total fiber yield, the yield and quality of long and short fiber from flax of various quality according to the results of control developments carried out in the conditions of flax processing enterprises and data from the State Variety Testing involved in the study of fiber flax varieties. Results and scope. The article presents the results of the development of standards for the conversion of different quality flax of 28 varieties of fiber flax into fiber, with their values given. It has been established that in order to obtain one ton of fiber from low grade flax trees (0.50–0.75), it is necessary to process 2.9–4.2 tonnes of flax trees; from flax trees of higher quality, with a value of 1.00 and more – 2.6–3.5 tons. Some issues related to the insufficient effectiveness of the use of translation standards in practice are considered. It is noted that when developing them, it is advisable to take into account the structure of the fiber contained in the stem material of a certain type with a division into fiber types: i. e., into long and short. At the same time, the accuracy of determining the cost of the produced fiber can increase by 20 %. It is also proposed to take into account the qualitative characteristics of long and short fibers, which can contribute to the correct orientation of an agricultural producer engaged in the cultivation of flax regarding the choice of fiber flax varieties with the most valuable economic characteristics. The reserve for increasing technical and economic indicators can be ~ 10 %. The need to develop a differentiated system is substantiated, which provides for taking into account the volume of fiber when converting into a conditional using standards specifically for each flax number in the range from 1.00 to 4.00. This may lead to an increase in the size of subsidies by 2.8–6.2 %. Scientific novelty. Standards have been developed for the conversion of flax of various quality into fiber of modern fiber flax varieties of both domestic and foreign origin, common in the flax-growing regions of the Russian Federation. The ways of increasing the efficiency of application of the established translation standards are proposed.

Green capacity investment under subsidy withdrawal risk

Subsidies initially installed to stimulate green capacity investments tend to be withdrawn after some time. This paper analyzes the effect on investment of this phenomenon in a dynamic framework with demand uncertainty. We find that increasing the probability of subsidy withdrawal incentivizes the firm to accelerate investment at the expense of a smaller investment size. A similar effect is found when subsidy size as such is increased. When subsidy withdrawal risk is zero or very limited, installing a subsidy could increase welfare. In general we get that the larger the subsidy withdrawal probability, the smaller the welfare maximizing subsidy rate is. Therefore, a policy maker aiming to maximize welfare should try to reduce subsidy withdrawal risk.

Indicators characterizing the quality of state (municipal) services in the sphere of youth policy

The subject of this research is indicators that characterize the quality of municipal services rendered in accordance with the state (municipal) task in the sphere of youth policy. Special attention given to the analysis of state tasks approved on the federal and regional levels for budgetary (autonomous) institutions. The author examines the indicators that characterize the quality of municipal services in the sphere of youth policy as the foundation for assessing the achievement of publicly significant results in the context of the vector for improving the efficiency of spending budgetary funds. The article explores the problem of the absence of correlation between the quality of services rendered and the size of subsidy allocated for the implementation of state (municipal) task. The main conclusion consists in the statement that at the present day it is difficult to assess the achievement of publicly significant result in rendering state (municipal) services in the sphere of youth policy as a criterion for the appropriate use of subsidies for the fulfillment of the state (municipal) tasks within the framework of the activity of budgetary (autonomous) institutions. This is substantiated by the formal determination of indicators set by such institutions, which characterize the quality of the rendered municipal services and the absence of comprehensive legislative regulation in this sphere. The efficiency parameters of the conducted state youth policy are for the most part reflected through the quantitative indicators.

ВПЛИВ ФАКТОРІВ ЗОВНІШНЬОГО СЕРЕДОВИЩА НА ЕКОНОМІЧНУ БЕЗПЕКУ БУДІВЕЛЬНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of environmental factors on the economic security of construction enterprises. The factors of the influence of the external environment on construction enterprises have been analyzed, as a result, it has been established that they are divided into a macro-environment and a micro-environment, direct (direct) impact and indirect (indirect) action. It is proposed to refer to the main factors of the impact of the external environment on the economic security of construction enterprises indicators of direct impact, which include: suppliers, competitors, consumers, the state, trade union committees, marketing intermediaries and the contact audience of the enterprise. The content of the factors of direct influence, suppliers, on the activities of the enterprise, namely, the dependence of the construction organization on the quality, quantity and timeliness of the materials or services provided, necessary for its, functioning, is disclosed. The influence of the consumer on the activities of a construction company is determined, which is carried out by signing contracts, paying for work or services under concluded contracts. The features of the influence of competitors are established, taking into account such parameters as: the number of firms specializing in the production of similar types of work (services), the growth rate of the industry, the degree of concentration of the industry, the price structure in the industry, the level of profit margins. The influence of the state and the trade union committee and found that the main influence of the state and its organs on the financial position of the company is realized through the establishment of the level of taxes and the size of subsidies, capital investments, and the contact with the union, in fact, the company provides its workforce. The impact of which in the future will help assess the associated threats or benefits to the economic security of construction enterprises. It is also proposed to include as external factors of indirect (indirect) impact on economic security: political, socio-cultural, scientific and technological progress, environmental safety, demographic and geographical factors. These factors are more complex and unpredictable, variable and uncertain. It is generally accepted that indirect impact factors do not significantly affect the activities of enterprises, but their impact in the future will help to assess the associated threats or benefits to the economic security of construction enterprises.

Assessment of the use of two state financial instruments for the development of small, medium and large business at different stages of the life cycle of territories: subregional section

The allocation of financial resources by the state to support small business and co-financing of investment projects of large and medium-sized businesses are significant financial instruments of state management of the socio-economic development of all Russian territories, without exception, especially in difficult modern epidemiological conditions. At the same time, it would be advisable to synchronize the quantitative and qualitative certainty of the implementation of these tools in time with the viability of the territories, determined by the current stage of their life cycle. The purpose of this article is to study the current presence in the Republic of Bashkortostan of direct or indirect accounting of the stage membership of municipalities in determining the amount allocated to it for the development of business of various dimensional forms of financial resources based on a systematic analysis of statistical data using typological grouping tools and rank correlation analysis. To achieve this goal, the authors analyzed the size of subsidies to support small business in the municipalities of the Republic of Belarus and the volume of state co-financing at the subregional level of objects from the lists of priority investment projects of the republic. The study of these indicators in relation to 8 urban districts (Ufa, Sterlitamak, Salavat, Oktyabrskiy, Neftekamsk, Sibay, Kumertau, Agidel) and 54 municipal districts of the Republic of Belarus made it possible to construct their typological groups according to the stages of the life cycle, the specific volume of subsidies to small businesses and the specific volume of co-financing of investment projects of large and medium-sized businesses. An assessment was made of the correlation between the stadia of municipalities and, firstly, the amount of subsidies allocated to it from the budget of the republic to support the activities of municipal programs for the development of small businesses and, secondly, the amount of co-financing of investment projects of large and medium-sized businesses. The absence of statistically significant interconnections between the volumes of financial resources currently allocated from the budget of the Republic of Bashkortostan for the development and support of small, medium and large businesses in municipalities and their life cycle stages was revealed, with the exception of a very weak negative relationship between the stage membership of municipal districts and the specific volume subsidies to support the activities of their programs for the development of small businesses (Spearman's coefficient = -0.270). The results of the study allow us to conclude that it is necessary to take into Belarus, as well as in other constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the stage-by-stage identification of territories when determining the amount allocated to municipalities from regional budgets of financial resources for business development of various dimensional forms.

COMPETITIVENESS OF UKRAINIAN AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES AT THE CURRENT STAGE OF ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATIONS

The article examines the theoretical foundations of the concept of competition and competitiveness, identifies the features and parameters of this economic category for Ukrainian agricultural enterprises. It is noted that the level of competitiveness of an agricultural enterprise at certain times is determined by the influence of a number of factors. Factors vary in nature, origin and level of influence, accordingly, effective management of the competitiveness of the agricultural enterprise is possible provided that the factors are identified and scientifically sound classification. Taking into account that agricultural enterprises have different strategic potential, different strategies and operate in an environment of varying complexity, external and internal are considered; controlled and uncontrolled factors used to assess the level of competitiveness of agricultural enterprises. It is determined that the assessment of competitiveness is an integral part of any enterprise, because only on the basis of such an assessment can be drawn conclusions about the level of competitiveness of the enterprise, as well as develop directions for its improvement. It was found that the methodology of competitiveness research is directly dependent on the globalization of goals. Most methods of assessing competitiveness are based on identifying factors that affect the competitiveness of the enterprise. It is noted that the assessment of the competitiveness of the enterprise should take into account the criteria for its implementation. It is also established that an effective way to reduce the cost of agricultural production is the use of alternative fuels, in particular, biodiesel and bioethanol, which can replace expensive traditional fuels. The directions of state support of agricultural enterprises, the size of subsidies and subsidies as one of the important elements of ensuring their continuous operation and increasing competitiveness are studied. According to the results of the study, the areas of increasing the competitiveness of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises in an innovative environment, the implementation of which for a long time will create real advantages over competitors.

The Economic Effects of Upstream Subsidy on Market Competition and Social Welfare

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the government policy for upstream industries as a way to make upstream firms more competitive. Design/methodology/approach &#8211; We set up the game model to analyze the purpose of the study. The first game studies a economic model without government intervention while the second game examines the model with government intervention. Assuming that &#57586; number of firms compete in downstream market and &#57585; number of firms in upstream market compete in upstream market, we try to figure out the optimal government intervention on the upstream market. Findings - The result shows that the optimal intervention is to subsidize the upstream firm. However, part of the subsidy is passed through to the downstream firm, which follows the principle of ‘tax incidence’. The size of subsidy flowing to the downstream firm is strongly affected by the degree of competition in the upstream market. We also find out that the social welfare is better-off under the subsidy intervention when compared with the social welfare in the absence of the intervention. Research implications or Originality &#8211; In contrast to the conventional wisdom, we confirm that as the degree of competition in the markets, the subsidy intervention becomes less effective.

Green Capacity Investment Under Subsidy Withdrawal Risk

This article studies the effect of different subsidy characteristics, like its size and withdrawal probability, on optimal investment timing and size. We find that increasing the risk of subsidy withdrawal, as well as increasing subsidy size, increases the firm's incentive to invest earlier but decreases the optimal investment size. We show that the optimal investment size is larger when no subsidy is implemented, although the firm will invest later then. A subsidy increases total welfare when subsidy withdrawal risk is very low or absent. If a policy maker aims at maximizing welfare, we show that the larger the subsidy withdrawal risk, the smaller the optimal subsidy is. When the policy maker aims to increase capacity, a subsidy is ineffective. However, a lump-sum tax can increase the firm's optimal capacity, at the cost of a delay in investment.

SCIENTIFIC AND ORGANIZATIONAL ASPECTS OF GENERATION, GENETICS, REPRODUCTION BIOTECHNOLOGY AND PROTECTION OF THE GENOFONDS IN LIVESTOCK BREEDING

The article highlights the main achievements, problems and directions of the further development of the landing stock of Ukraine, the prospects of scientific research of Institute of Animal breeding and Genetics nd. a. M.V.Zubets of the NAAS in the areas of breeding, genetics, biotechnology of reproduction and preservation of the gene pool of farm animals. Institute is the initiator of four dairy herds (Ukrainian Red-and-White, Black-and-White, Red and Brown dairy bread) and four meat (Ukrainian, Volyn, Polissya and Southern meat) breeds of cattle. Its employees carry out scientific support of regional livestock development programs, development of systems for the creation and management of commercial herds of dairy and beef cattle, which contributes to solving the global food problem, and to ensure the nutrition security of Ukrainian population. The newly created Ukrainian Black-and-White, Red-and-White and Red dairy breeds for the predominantly intra-species breeding improvement and limited access to the gene pool of the Holstein breeding breed should remain the main areas of the breeding improvement of domestic dairy cattle breeding. The existing breeding system in cattle in Ukraine does not meet international standards and practically does not work in a complex way, and it threatens the final destruction of domestic breeding livestock, a significant dependence of the country on the import of breeding resources. To solve the problem, a new structure of the breeding service with a clear definition of the organizational basis for the management of tribal affairs and functional responsibilities of the subjects of its implementation was proposed, the formation of a centralized national information base for the identification, registration, origin and performance of animals, the keeping of state books of breeding animals as the basis estimation of their genetic value, and its realization is entrusted to the state enterprise created at the institute on Main scientific-production informational-elective center in livestock. Promising areas for farm animal breeding research are grouped into gene identification and the degree of development of quantitative attributes (QTL), early prediction and evaluation of breeding value of animals using markers (MAS). Research on molecular genetics is aimed at improving genetic analysis methods at individual and population levels, monitoring herds of cattle according to different types of genetic markers. Genetic systems for testing animals in 9 loci quantitative attributes, which are involved in the formation of qualitative indicators of dairy and meat productivity. A work is under way to test animals for the polymorphism of the BoLA-DRB3 gene of the major histocompatibility complex in animal populations for resistance to or susceptibility to mastitis. Biotechnology research focuses on reproductive biology methods, first of all, manipulations with gametes of farm animals, in vitro fertilization of pre-matured oocytes of cows and pigs, and others. The technology of obtaining oocyte cumulus complexes from ovaries of animals, the conditions of their storage, cultivation and fertilization out of the organism, which allows receiving a much larger number of embryos for both scientific and practical purposes, is developed. A separate direction is the work to improve the biotechnological methods of reproduction of farm animals using nanomaterials. It is based on the application in cryopreservation and sperm production of sperm and ovules of various variants of biologically active substances that are applied to highly dispersed silica molecules (albumin of blood serum of cattle, N-acetylneuramic acid – UFS / BSA / NANA). In order to monitor and preserve the diversity of genetic resources of agricultural animals in Ukraine, a complex of works under NAAS scientific program "System of work in populations and preservation of biological diversity of genetic resources of farm animals" ("Preservation of gene pool of breeds") with a coordination center on the basis of Institute of Animal breeding and Genetics nd. a. M.V.Zubets of NAAS. The research resulted in the development of the Program for the preservation of the gene pool of local and endangered breeds of farm animals in Ukraine for 2017–2025, in which the methodological bases for preservation of the gene pool were generalized, animal breeds were classified according to the criteria of risk, the minimum sizes of herds (real and virtual) of faulting species were substantiated, the minimum the size of subsidies for the proper functioning of small-numbered breeds, general methodological approaches to assessing the specificity of genetic resources are specified.
