Sustainable development of forage production as a basis for increasing livestock production in the region

At present, the development of fodder production determines the efficiency of cattle breeding, since the share of feed costs in the structure of the cost of milk and beef production reaches 50% -70%. At the same time, food security for the production of milk and beef is not ensured in the Russian Federation today. The main reason for this is a weak forage base. To further increase the volume of livestock production, it is necessary to provide a full-fledged fodder base with the number of cattle (cattle), to develop fodder production on an intensive basis.
