Industrial pig breeding is finding new reserves for capacity expansion, increasing the number by 17 thousand heads. In total today in the republic there are 443 thousand pigs.
As for the number of cattle, a positive trend was noted in the republic - plus 3 thousand heads. In many ways, this is the result of the systematic work of the Baltasinsky, Mamadyshsky, Kukmorsky, Alkeyevsky, Sabinsky and Atninsky districts. Also significantly added Buinsky, Drozhzhanovsky, Nurlatsky, Tukayevsky areas.
However, according to Marat Akhmetov, in 13 districts, for various reasons, was recorded a decline.

“All the facts of livestock reduction should be assessed more critically, and prompt action should be taken to restore it. In addition, in the agreements on the provision of state support, the target indicator preserves the number of livestock. Therefore, it will be necessary to restore the livestock in order not to lose state support, ”the minister reminded.
Marat Akhmetov stopped by on issues of the dairy industry. More than 3.6 thousand tons of milk is produced every day in the agricultural formations of the republic. Growth in volumes to the previous year amounted to 157 tons or 4.5%.

Compared to last year, 7 districts increased milk yield by 10 percent. Almetyevsky district achieved a growth of 30 percent, ”the minister added.
