Biological aspects of livestock intensification

Abstract

One of the main goals of the Russian agro-industrial complex is striving to achieve world indices. To achieve this, the fundamentals of the Russian grain economy have been revised; elevator farming and forage production are brought to the modern level. Russian production of grain-forage has been improved: the content of food grains in it is reducing and the content of barley, leguminous, and corn is increasing. These lead to cropping increasing of the mentioned crops. As a substitution for soy protein, protein of lupine and peas are offered. This protein is almost equal in quality to soy protein but is much cheaper. Further investigations on the cattle physiology will help to reveal the genetic potential of calves and cows.
