Marat Zyabbarov made a working trip to Vysokogorsky district
Today, a zonal seminar was held in Vysokogorsky district - a meeting "The results of livestock production for the 1st quarter of 2023 and the challenges ahead." The working meeting was chaired by Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan - Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan Marat Zyabbarov.
The First Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan Lenar Garipov, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan Rafael Fattakhov and Rustem Gainullov also took part in the working trip, as well as consultants on animal husbandry, heads of veterinary associations, representatives of agricultural universities of the Republic of Tatarstan, heads of investment companies.
At the meeting, they discussed topical issues of ensuring veterinary well-being in farms, organizing the feeding and reproduction of cattle on the experience of August-Muslum LLC, and also discussed the issue of animal by-products. Storage, processing, use of manure/litter: new rules, real practices.
In his welcoming speech, Marat Zyabbarov noted that to date, top dressing has been carried out on 87% of the area, harrowing - on 81%. Sowing of spring crops was carried out on an area of 772 thousand hectares, which is 42% of the planned areas. Of these, sowing of barley amounted to 72%, spring wheat 36%, oats 60%, peas 71%, sugar beet 59%, rapeseed 40%, sunflower 28%, fodder crops 8%, corn for grain 7%.
Today in the republic the daily volume of milk production is 4.6 thousand tons, which is 493 tons more than last year (112%). Despite the positive dynamics of milk production, the decrease in the number of cows by the beginning of the year is of particular concern. In three months we have lost more than 4 thousand cows. The largest reduction is in Alkeevsky (- 1045 goals), Novosheshminsky (-704 goals), Alekseevsky (-504 goals), Kaibitsky (-484 goals) and Buinsky districts (-445 goals). These are the areas where our major investors conduct their production activities: Krasny Vostok, Ak Bars, Avgust and others.
“We need to stabilize the livestock population and prevent further decline. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the points of growth for the restoration of livestock in the republic. The potential of our republic is much higher than we have today. We are able to increase the production of livestock products. There are all possibilities for this,” Marat Zyabbarov emphasized.
In his report, Lenar Garipov reported that 401 thousand tons of milk were produced in the republic with an increase of more than 43 thousand tons, which is 112% compared to last year. In terms of productivity per cow, we go with 10% growth. Only 103 thousand tons of meat were produced, of which 24 thousand tons of cattle meat, with an increase of 2% by 22. Pig meat - 24.5 thousand tons, 101%, and poultry meat - almost 54 thousand tons, with a plus of 694 tons.
The number of cattle in the republic amounted to 639 563 heads, 99% by 2022. Thanks to the importation of pedigree cattle from outside, we have an increase in the number of dairy herds by 3,438 heads. The number of pigs is 451 thousand heads, the number of sheep is going with a 2% increase. Birds - 17.3 million heads, 105%. The number of horses is 18 thousand 200 heads, 99%.
Most areas in terms of the number of sheep keep a positive trend, there is a slight reduction in the Mendeleevsky, Aktanyshsky and Menzelinsky regions. In terms of the number of horses, the largest reduction is in Tukaevsky and Aktanyshsky districts.
“Dear colleagues, I remind you that you and I have obligations to increase the number of horses. Therefore, I urge everyone to carry out systematic work to attract all forms of ownership to the maintenance and breeding of horses. Support in this direction is expected to be very attractive,” said Lenar Garipov.
Grants are also allocated for the construction of horse farms - at least 80 horses, including at least 32 mares (at least 5 tons of meat in live weight per year).
Before the meeting, an exhibition of manufacturers and dealers of livestock equipment was organized.
After the meeting, the minister visited a number of sites. He got acquainted with the course of field work in the farm "Sadikova Z.Z." and examined the progress of the repair of livestock farm buildings. Then Marat Zyabbarov visited the Latypovs' robotic farm. To date, there are 200 heads here, they plan to further develop dairy farming, and reach a daily gross milk yield of up to 10 tons.
