The meeting was chaired by Lenar Garipov, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan.
Lenar Garipov briefed the audience on the results of the livestock industry. In his speech, he focused on the issues of milk and meat production, as well as analysis of the operation of farms and the situation with African swine fever.

During the meeting, the regions - leaders in increasing the number of cattle for 2 months of this year were named. These are Mamadyshsky (+3394 heads), Kukmorsky (+2183 heads) Baltasinsky (+1304 heads) and Atninsky (+1871 heads) districts. A comment was made to areas allowing a decline in livestock numbers.
Agricultural formations in January-February 2021 produced 227.1 thousand tons of milk (103% in relation to last year), 66.6 thousand tons of meat, including (grown) cattle - 16.1 thousand tons, pigs - 16.1 thousand tons (102% in relation to last year), poultry - 34 thousand tons.
During his speech, the Deputy Minister noted that the epizootic situation in the republic is still tense. There are 3 districts that are unsafe for ASF: Elabuga, Zainsky and Almetyevsky. The danger of a rapid spread of the virus with wild boars remains.
“Today, there are 8 low-protection pig farms operating in the II compartment. These farms are located on the territories of Bavlinsky, Baltasinsky, Bugulminsky, Leninogorsky, Nizhnekamsky and Sarmanovsky districts. They need to be transferred to a more protected zoosanitary status”, said Lenar Garipov.
The situation is similar for bird flu. Recall that in 2020, 5 cases of highly pathogenic virus among poultry in 4 municipalities were registered on the territory of the republic.
Concluding his speech, Lenar Garipov reminded the audience about the mechanisms for supporting the poultry industry and insurance of agricultural enterprises.
During the meeting, Ilgam Ganiev, a consultant on animal husbandry of the regional agricultural administration, spoke about the feed centers used at the enterprises of the republic.
“The main elements of the feed center are the feed store, silo trenches, machines and a control center (mixer control panel and software). The advantages of the feed centers are the feed consumption is 30% lower, effective software for managing and compiling rations, reducing the influence of the human factor, "said Ilham Ganiev.
The representative of the company "Mustang Feeding Technologies" Ekaterina Korzhevina spoke about the online farm, the analytics and forecasting system for digitalization of the Mustang dairy production.
“This is a program with which you can monitor all processes at the enterprise online, receive reports on all key indicators at any time on your smartphone, tablet or computer, as well as form reliable forecasts for the future. To date, the system has been installed and is successfully operating at 12 enterprises in Russia. The system has a number of unique options: the ability to create a virtual copy of the enterprise and predict future milk yields and milk production volumes for two lactations ahead, as well as to identify non-obvious reasons for a decrease in milk yield, which previously could only be determined by an expert. The accuracy of all the forecasts given is 97%, ”she said.
