Abstract

Government investments aimed at developing domestic pedigree cattle breeding allowed the formation of a wide network of breeding plants, breeding reproducers, and gene pool farms throughout the country to meet the needs of agricultural producers in pedigree products. Since 2016, dairy cattle breeding has witnessed expanded reproduction. The industry is fully provided with heifers bred in Russia for the replenishment of the herd. Breeding farms provide simple reproduction and have a sufficient number of young cattle of almost all dairy cattle breeds for sale within the country and export. The Russian market of pedigree products is marked with a positive trend to increase the sale of pedigree cattle. With high annual rates of import substitution of breeding cattle, the sales of breeding cattle increased by 62.3% in six years, which allowed for the reduction of import to 15.6%. The situation on the market for bull semen is more complicated; artificial insemination covers only two-thirds of the potential cattle herd, and import consumption is 22.1%.
