REVISITING EFFICIENT APPLYING OF FORAGE RESOURCES IN LIVESTOCK FARMING DEVELOPMENT IN SIBERIA

Abstract

The paper considers development of forage production in agribusiness to be the important socioeconomic task due to complicated and difficult geopolitical situation. The task assumes systematic studies on the industry from the point of view of development and efficient applying of forage by means of innovations and further development of business mechanism aimed at supply with high-energy cheep forages. The authors suggest it is necessary to found the main directions and methods aimed at productivity of natural forage grasslands; prepare scientific recommendations on development of forage grasslands, applying of cultivated grasslands, soil-conservation measures in meadows and pastures, applying mineral and organic fertilizers. The article mentions necessity to develop measures on forages quality increasing, reducing losses of nutrition forages when harvesting and storing. The authors suggest it is significant to specify recommendations on applying progressive ways of forages preparing and storing in respect to the regional conditions and efficient applying of hayfields, pastures and perennial plantings. It is necessary to build regional variants of technological schemes aimed at forage production and demand in the main industrial resources. The research analyzes areas which can be applied as natural forage grasslands and areas for specific sub-industries of livestock farming in the region. The authors declare there is no well-defined strategy of regional forage production development.
