The advanced experience of Krasnodar farmers was appreciated by livestock breeders of Stavropol

In order to exchange experience on the use of advanced technologies in the maintenance, feeding and genetics of dairy cattle, a delegation from the Stavropol Territory visited dairy farms in the Krasnodar Territory.

The group of representatives from the region to the Steppe agricultural holding was headed by Stavropol Minister of Agriculture Sergey Izmalkov and Deputy Minister Alexei Krisan. The delegation also included heads of agricultural departments of districts and heads of agricultural organizations involved in MILK production.

“The increase in milk production for the needs of the population of the Stavropol Territory is one of the main tasks of the agro-industrial complex. Best practices in the construction of large dairy complexes and the reconstruction of existing dairy farms can become an important link in the development of dairy cattle breeding in the region,” said Sergey Izmalkov, HEAD of the region’s agricultural department.

The choice for the dairy farm JSC "Rodina" of the agricultural holding "Step" fell due to the fact that today it has no analogues in the Kuban. Modernized with the latest technology in dairy cattle breeding, it contains a breeding stock of Holstein cattle.

Due to the timely and competent reconstruction of the MTF, built in the eighties of the last century, and the use of advanced world technologies on the farm in genetics, maintenance, feeding and management of the dairy herd, the average productivity per 1 dairy cow was achieved here - 14,470 kg per year.

This is a result that can be compared to, and Stavropol agricultural producers have expressed interest in introducing the experience of Kuban livestock breeders in the Stavropol Territory, which, in the end, may favorably affect the cost of production in the direction of its reduction and increase the profitability of dairy production.

“Today we have many examples of our own successful innovative development of the dairy industry, the introduction of new developments. In fact, one of the most conservative industries is being modernized, and this indicates that the dairy farming of the region as a whole is developing at a good pace, and we see the results of this work. The exchange of experience can also serve as a point of growth and acceleration,” said Alexei Krisan, Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Stavropol Territory.
