Solution of the fodder problem of livestock breeding in the territory of Krasnoyarsk region in 1953-1964

in 1953-1964, N.S. Khrushchev set a course for the development of the agricultural sector, within which the rise of animal husbandry was of great importance. One of the key tasks of animal husbandry in this period is the creation of a solid fodder base. The purpose of this article is to analyze the measures taken to improve the feed supply of livestock in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The use of statistical data in the work made it possible to establish a relationship between sufficient livestock feed supply and the main indicators of livestock development, such as livestock numbers and productivity. The author concludes that the feed problem was one of the main constraining factors in the development of public animal husbandry in the region. The measures carried out by the Soviet leadership demonstrated low efficiency and had insufficient impact on improving production performance in animal husbandry. The feeding problem also remained unresolved. The intensification of negative factors in the industry and the creation of a threat to the food supply of the Soviet population prompted the country's leadership in the mid-1960s to adjust the course of agricultural development towards the intensification of agriculture.
