The general trouble when many heads of farms during reorganization extracted money bypassed the region, ruining cattle-breeding farms. Then half-starved cattle fuel or fertilizers paid off with debts on a salary, for acquired. But on Odessshchin this harmful process was designated somehow less. The quantity of cattle, pigs, sheep, a bird here remained such, as in several next areas together taken.
In Odessa region there are farms where with understanding treated problems of development of animal husbandry and didn’t reduce rates. So, in SPK "Russia" of the Kiliysky area nady on a cow in the current year made 507 liters that for winter sufficient quite good result. Other indicators in "Russia" there are enough high. For example, for two months of this year the economy already realized 24 tons of meat, the daily average additional weight of KRS made 380-400 grams per day, pigs – 425 g are paid much attention to Svinootkorm, in an economy in forages qualitative premixes are added.
