Concept of selection and breeding work on the creation of belarusian red dairy cattle breed
Abstract
In the Republic of Belarus, the main breed for dairy and pedigree production is Holstein dairy cattle of domestic selection, the productivity potential of which is at the level of 12-14 thousand kg of milk per lactation. However, the experience of many countries shows that as a result of intensive selection of animals of this breed to increase milk productivity, reproductive performance and health have significantly deteriorated. This explains the increased interest in the use of alternative competitive breeds in milk production, one of which is the red breed of dairy cattle. In the course of the work we studied the current state and assessed the prospects for further work on the creation of the Belarusian red dairy cattle breed. Thus, as a result of the implementation of the following stages of work on the creation of the domestic breed, the number of cows of the red dairy cattle selection herds at the basic farms in 2030 will amount to 2800 heads with productivity of 7500 kg of milk per lactation, which will allow for all necessary activities on its approbation.
