Development of production of meat and dairy products and services for the livestock industry of the republic of Uzbekistan

Within the framework of the reforms carried out in the republic to stabilize food supply and increase the export potential of the agricultural sector, the development of meat and dairy products production and the provision of services for the livestock industry is of great importance. At the same time, an increase in the level of consumption of livestock products per capita, the development of the processing industry and the service sector for animal husbandry is of urgent importance. At the same time, these measures can produce positive results only if the necessary conditions are created for the effective functioning of farms of various categories. Despite the growing number of livestock in the republic, low productivity of livestock does not allow for intensive development of the industry and ensure expanded reproduction of herds. The analysis shows that low dairy productivity of livestock in most cases is associated with insufficient feed supply, poor feed quality, and depends on the level of organization of veterinary and breeding services in the industry. At present, the increase in the number of livestock along with a decrease in the area of forage crops, their low yield, unsatisfactory feed supply is one of the reasons for low productivity of livestock.
