AGRONOMY AND FORESTRY
The article explores annual fusarial wilting of plants in the forest-steppe of Western Siberia. It observes the progress of the disease in hot and dry conditions of vegetation when it becomes 86.3 % and prevalence varies from 50 to 100 %. When the disease is progressing, chickpea plants die out. Infected seeds and soil perform as disease carriers; chickpea seeds are infected with fusarial infection up to 10-23 %, mostly: F. oxysporum (Schlecht.) Snyd. et Hans., F. oxysporum var. orthoceras, F. solani (Mart.) App. et Wr., F. solani. var. argillaceum (Fr.) Bilai and others. The paper analyzes soil concentration and outlines high soil fungi consentration of Fusarium. The most wide-spread fungi in the soil were Fusarium oxysporum var. orthoceras, F. solani, F. sambucinum Fuck., var.minus Wr., F. gibbosum App. et Wr., F. acuminatum, F. oxysporum and others. The authors explore content of pathogenic carriers of fusarial wilting of chickpea and identify the dominating types of chickpea as F. oxysporum var. orthoceras, F. sambuсinum var. minus, F. solani, Fusarium gibbosum. The authors observe effective chickpea varieties with low fusarial wilting for their further application in selection.
The article shows the research results on environmental winter triticale testing. The aim of the research is to estimate varieties according to their environmental plasticity, resistance and grain yield in the forest-steppe of Kemerovo region. The paper shows mathematical estimation of data according to the methodics of S.A. Eberhart, W.A. Russel rendered by V.Z. Pakudin. The authors calculated regressive linear co-efficient Р(bi ), which characterizes environmental plasticity, and mean square deviation of regression ( Si 2 ), which defines variety resistance. The researchers estimated the varieties in different meteorological conditions when environmental index (Ij ) varied from –15.01 to +22.39. Crop yield of the winter triticale varieties studied varied from 34.4 to 59.7 hundredweight pro ha of Altaiskaia 5 variety; from 26.5 to 53.6 hundredweight pro ha of Omskaia variety and from 23.9 to 87.3 hundredweight pro ha of SIRS-57. The authors observed SIRS-57 (bi =1.6) to be the least resistant to year climate conditions (it is referred to intensive varieties) and Omskaia (bi =0.77) and Altaiskaia 5 (bi =0.63) varieties are referred to plastic varieties. Omskaia variety ( Si 2 =1.57) appeared to be highly productive whereas Altaiskaia 5 ( Si 2 =23.85) and SIRS-57 ( Si 2 =26.11) varieties appeared to be low productive and this speaks about their zigzag response in other conditions. The research outlines Omskaia variety of winter triticale as the most effective, mean plastic and highly-resistant and productive.
The article is concerned with increasing of crop yield and explores that production quality is influenced by the variety adjusted to local conditions. This variety is most productive for plant production and important in agricultural production. New cultivar should be highly productive, highly adaptive and environmentally plastic (to form steady crop yield in different conditions). The article explores estimation of cultivars and varieties of Amur spring barley on environmental plasticity and stability. The researchers estimated environmental plasticity and stability for 3 years (2012–2014), which differed in vegetation conditions. The authors apply regression co-efficient (bi), which characterize cultivars response to agricultural changes and stability variance (s2di), which shows cultivar response to environmental changes and its stability. New Amur variety included into the State List of Selection Inventions is not stable, which is proved by estimation in 2008–2011. Earlier it was not stable but responded well to the changes; now it is not stable but more productive in favorable conditions. The authors make the idea that varieties, which belong to the group of well-responding to the changes and stable ones are the most significant varieties. The researchers define Mishka variety as a stable and well-responding.
The article shows an effect of applying bog peat growing medium and double postplanting treatment with growth regulators during adaptation of sweet-berry honeybuckle microplants. The research found out that application of bog peat growing medium instead of lowland peat reduced establishment of microplants on 10.2 %, adaptive plants yield on 9.9 %, their height on 3.6 %, terminal shoot on 4.6 % and leafage on 3.5 %. Double postplanting treatment of sweet-berry honeybuckle microplants with HB-101 and Ribav-Extra specimens increased establishment on 11.3 and 6.7 % and adaptive plants yield on 11.0 and 6.5 %. The paper explores the research results of the control group and experimental group and speaks about double postplanting treatment of adaptive plants with HB-101, Ribav-Extra and Biosil. This increased plants height on 0.6 sm, 1.5 sm and 0.4 sm and growth on 3.4, 4.6 and 0.4 sm correspondently. Application of growth regulators for postplanting treatment increased the number of leaves on 2.8, 3.7 and 2.4 in comparison with the control group (5.0). The authors observed positive effect of microplants postplanting treatment with growth regulators on root length in the variant where HB-101 was applied. Root system was 2.6 and 2.5 points influenced by HB-101 and Ribav-Extra regulators whereas the control variant was 2.4 points. Combination of bog peat growing medium and postplanting double treatment with HB-101 specimen appeared to be the most effective for adaptation of sweet-berry honeybuckle microplants.
Winter wheat is the main crop in Russia. Application of complete fallow as a predecessor is widely-used method in cultivating winter wheat. Otherwise, keeping of complete fallow without sufficient fertilizing is followed by depreciation of the main soil properties: intensive mineralization of organic substances, intensive erosion and depreciation of soil structure. The paper outlines the research results of the Chair of Arable Farming at Voronezh State Agrarian University; they explored influence of perennial legume grasses on the basic parameters of chernozem soil fertility and winter wheat crop yield. The research has shown that seeded fallow instead of complete one contributed to sufficient humidity in the soil (130–165 mm), supply of nutrients to the soil due to efficient distribution of basic macroelements and improvement of biological soil properties (concentration of detritus increased on 0,029–0,031 %). This contributed to winter wheat crop yield (on average 3,9–4,1 tones pro ha). The authors make conclusion that cultivating perennial legume grasses as predecessors of spring wheat contributes to soil fertility and winter wheat crop yield without application of mineral fertilizers.
The paper is concerned with the peculiarities of photosynthetic activity, crop yield and crop quality. It gives bioenergetics estimation of oats and mixed sowings on irrigated farm field in the dry steppe zone of the Buryat Republic. The authors observed reducing of average leaf square from 26.0–31.5 thousands sq m/ ha in the milk stage to 23.8–28.2 thousands sq m/ha in the milky ripeness whereas photosynthetic parameters increased from the 1st harvest time (1.56–1.89) to the 2nd one (1.82–2.21 mln sq m/ha · days). Parameters of oats and mixture of oats are higher regardless the harvest time. The author speaks about productivity of pea and oats mixture productivity, which is 2.65–2.70 lower than other variants (3.15–3.37 g/sq m a day). Oats and mixture of oats and pea appeared to be mostly productive for herbage; they were 19.5 and 20.3 tone/hа in the 1st harvest time and 15.1–15.8 tones/ha in the 2nd harvest time. Crop yield of bone dry solids increased from the 1st harvest time (5.08–5.45) to the 2nd one (5.62–6.24 tones/hа). Digestible protein yield and feeding protein units are increased from 0.28–0.45 and 2.68–4.42 to 0.36–0.48 and 3.36–4.57 tone/hа), but mixtures of pea and oats or barley are dominating. The researchers observe the most productive crops, which are mixture of pea and oats on silage and haylage and mixture of oats and barley on haylage. The number of energy protein units is increased from the 1st harvest time (65.27–85.42) to the second one 67.60–88.46); it is rather higher in the pea mixtures. The paper specifies reducing of 1 tone energy output ratio from 355–449 to 350–428 MJ.
BIOLOGY, PHYSIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY
The article explores environmental situation in concern of the forests in Siberia and their role as they are very important in the economic aspect. The forests influence the natural processes in the country and bordering countries; they produce bioenergy and oxygen as well. The role of the forests is to influence ionic air regime, purify the air from hazardous gases and dust, reduce noise pollution level etc. The authors found out 1 m3 of the air in Siberian industrial cities contain from 100 to 500 thousands of dust and soot particles whereas the forests contain dust and soot particles 1000 times less. One hectare of forest can keep 32–68 tons of dust a year; developed wooden protective stands (40–45 m width) reduce noise pollution level from the transport on 17–23 dB. Volatile production of the forest appeared to be the important factor of their health-related features. The forests in extremely continental climate of Siberia influence such abiotic environmental factors as wind regime, solar radiation, air and soil temperature regime, precipitation, humidity etc. The publication shows that average yearly wind speed is up to 8 m/sec in bare Siberian tundra, 5 m/sec in sparsely wooded steppe (8 forest cover percent), 4 m/sec in the forest-steppe (18 forest cover percent) and 2.5–3 m/sec in taiga zone (40–50 forest cover percent). Abatement of wind speed influences better climate and V. V. The authors outline that beam solar radiation in the pinetum is 45 %, 30 % in the hardwood and 25 % in spruce forest. Increasing of forest cover percent from 30 to 70 affects low air temperature during vegetation period on 5…13 ºС in regards the average temperature of surrounding area. Soil temperature at a depth of 0.4 meter in December in the forest-steppe area of Western Siberia is –4,7 ºС, and in the southern taiga –1,2 ºС; soil temperature in June in the forest-steppe is +15,6 ºС, and +10 ºС in the southern taiga. Snow cover of leafed forests contains 15–30 % water more and softwood contains 5–10 % water more than in the open biota. Forests influence greatly hydrological regime of rivers. The total square of water-conservation forest in Siberia is 19.6 mln ha. Forests are greatly concerned with wind erosion control and dust whirls damaging the crops. Wind erosion areas in Western Siberia are spread in the steppe zone, mostly in Kulundinskaia steppe covering 17 mln ha. The article declares that crops and sowings margined with permeable shelterbelt produce crop yield 15–20 % higher than that in treeless areas.
The authors make the case about microbiocenosis development of gastrointestinal tract of rabbits and regard this as the key stage in development of young rabbit’s adaptive abilities, fermentation processes, nitrogen consumption and formation of resistance to pathogenic microorganisms. The authors explore age changes in the soviet chinchillas’ intestinal microflora; the researchers investigate postweaning rabbits aged 45 days where they observe increasing of bifid bacteria in gut biota followed by reducing of lacto bacteria, increasing of enterococcus and further reducing of them, reducing of lacto positive and lacto negative en-terobacteria, staphylococcus, hemolytic E.coli and yeast-like fungi. The paper declares reducing of hemolytic E.coli and Candida and their total removal in the rabbits aged 2.5 months. The authors suggest application of data on age peculiarities of rabbit microbiocenosis in diagnostics of animal dysbacteriosis and testing of various specimens and feed additives.
The authors estimate resource abilities of the cow bones in the pregnancy period, lactation period of “low lactation” before morning milking and after. They used ultrasound osteometry, morphometric measurements and blood testing. The researchers applied ultrasound osteometry in the fifth tail vertebra, mid-ribs and metacarpal. Morphometric measurements relate to the length, width, thickness of vertebra and length, width, thickness and metacarpus circle. The authors defined total calcium concentration, total magnum, inorganic phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase in blood plasma. The experiment was carried out 12 times a day in 2 hours during 3–6 days and 6 months. The researchers applied cluster analysis and divided animals into 3 groups: animals with high adaptation, mid adaptation and low adaptation. The paper explores cows with “low adaptation” and applies system analysis. This contributed to investigating the ideal system where 11 morpho-metric and biophysical parameters are formed into self-developing system, which contains 3 subsystems as two-tiered pyramid before milking and after. The authors make a hypothesis about pyramid tiers, which reflect the main problems in the cow bones: bone tissue→ bones → bones system. The article is concerned with animals with “low adaptation” in the system of “morphometric and biophysical parameters” where the tier bones → bones system is observed before milking and tier bone tissue → bones is observed after milking. The research declares that milking influences system displacement and leads to lower bone structures; “bones” become subsystem principal instead of “bones system”. The authors make conclusion about relation between cow adaptive abilities and losses in structural properties of cow bones, burden on some bones and as a result bone pathology.
The paper makes the case about enzymes in the national market and their high economic efficiency. Application of multienzymes RonozimVP (ST), RoxazimG2 and Protosubtilin G3 in quails feeding influenced positively blood morphological parameters and protected effective physiological parameters for genetic productivity. Application of multienzyme complex RonozymeVP (ST) influenced positively quantitative and qualitative properties of egg-laying of Estonian quails when their egg-laying capacity reached 88.71 %. The researchers observed laying on 42 day in the 2 experimental group whereas laying on 52, 46, 44 and 43 day in the control group and 3,4 and 5 experimental group correspondently. The authors declare about egg mass gain 14.19 g whereas egg mass in the control and 3, 4 and 5 experimental group varied 10.14–12.84 g. These peculiarities demonstrate steady physiological condition and stimulating effect for quails bioresource potential when applying multienzyme complex RonozymeVP (ST).
The article shows the results on soil recycling of municipal waste. The authors declare that application of unique fertilizers dosed economically efficient does not influence much the qualities of grey forest soil plough-layer. Single application of wastewater sludge dosed as 12t/ha increases humus concentration, cation exchange capacity and environmental pH becomes weakly alkaline. The paper finds out that efficient application of wastewater sludge doesn’t make effect on element burden and doesn’t break ecological balance. The authors conduct research on soil recycling of municipal waste with lime, which causes alkalinization of the soil in order to reduce migration mobility of heavy metals, which restrict their application. The research has shown that all parameters of total heavy metals were lower than admissible concentration unit in the years of fertilizing and in the following years. Soil pollution was minimal according to all criteria. The authors estimated bioenergetics efficiency of single application of wastewater sludge dosed as 12 t/ha when growing potato. Single application of wastewater sludge dosed as 12 t/ha demonstrated that wastewater sludge is high energy fertilizer. Stacking energy in extra yield at single application of wastewater sludge increased energy coefficient for the 3d year. This contributes to soil recycling of wastewater sludge as a fertilizer in case of biogeo-chemical monitoring of heavy metals concentration in the soil for growing environmentally sound production.
VETERINARY SCIENCES
The paper explores metabolic peculiarities, immune-biochemical status of mother-cows and their calves in breed livestock farms and commercial farm of the Udmurtian Republic. The authors outline relation between defects of biochemical blood parameters and pathology of digestive apparatus, reproductive system and distal limbs. The article reflects data on the status of digestible apparatus, distal limbs and reproductive system of cows in breed livestock farms and peculiarities of endocrine capacities. The publication contains data on fertility, status and quality of feeding, proportion of diseases and cow disposal. The authors determine gynecological diseases, mastitis and limbs disease of cows in the Udmurtian Republic in 2012–2014 whereas process defect is 37 %. Analysis of blood serum shows low and medium asidoses 38–75.7 % and 90 % in some districts. The authors determine the reasons of calves aged 3–4 months age reponse to pneumoenteritis. The research recommends arranging cows and calves feeding according to fertility and metabolic status, making balance in protein consumption, sugar, microelements and macroelements and vitamins. The researchers suggest arranging forage conservation and storage and sufficient feeding with concentrated feeds; making herd high immunity with application of vaccines and natural resistance adjusted for metabolism and medical aids.
The paper demonstrates morphological changes in peripheral blood and lymph glands of BALB/c mice infected by Rauscher virus and influenced by Subaline. Rauscher virus is fatal for animals and application of Subaline hasn’t extended lifetime of infected mice. Rauscher virus causes erythropenia and leucopenia in hyperplastic disease period. The authors observed leucocytes regain in infected mice in the end-stage. Subaline affects hematological parameters regain and leykocytopoiesis in the mice infected by Rauscher virus. Rauscher virus causes transporting functional depression and lymph proplasia in the early hyperplastic period. Immune suppression occurs in the end stage of the disease. The article makes the case about application of Subaline in the early stage to the mice infected by Rauscher virus and outlines reducing of lymph B-zone and transporting functional enhancement. The end-stage is characterized by B-zone activation when the number of antibodies is increasing influenced by Subaline.
The article explores influence of probiotic specimens Vetom 2.25 and Vetom 3.22 on hematologi-cal parameters of hens by means of UV (465–480 nm) photosensibilization. Effect of the specimens studied shows increasing of hemoglobin concentration in the blood of hens at natural insolation. UV photosensibilization doesn’t influence hemoglobin concentration in the blood of hens. The authors observed increase in concentration of erythrocytes under modeling of UV photosensibilization of circadian rhythms. Probiotics and modeling of UV photosensibilization of circadian rhythms influence less this chronopharmacological parameter. Probiotic Vetom 2.25 doesn’t affect greatly concentration of erythrocytes in the poultry blood in case of modeling of UV photosensibilization of circadian rhythms. Probiotics or UV photosensibilization slightly influences concentration of leucocytes in the poultry blood. Absolute amplitude, acrophase and bathyphase of this parameter didn’t differ among the poultry studied.
The paper investigates susceptibility of microorganisms, which cause calves’ gastrointestinal disorders and shows wave changes in application of different antibiotics where aminoglycoside and quinolone/ fluoroquinolone are dominating. The authors found out average coefficient of antibiotic susceptibility of Proteus – 0.91 ± 0.03, Proteus – 0.91 ± 0.03, Streptococcus – 0.89 ± 0.02, Escherichia – 0.87 ± 0.05, Salmonella – 0.86 ± 0.04, Klebsiella – 0.84 ± 0.05 during 2001–2010. The research shows that level and coefficient of antibiotic susceptibility correspond to the general level of “aggression” of antianimal agents and characterize pathogenic potential of microorganisms. Studying the coefficient of antibiotic susceptibility shows that Proteus has maximum rate (0. 91 ± 0.03) and Klebsiella microorganisms have the lowest rate (0.84 ± 0.05). This correlates with the general susceptibility of these microorganisms to the antibiotics studied (from 0–100.0 % and 4.17–31.25 %). Estimation of coefficient variations has shown the relation between the coefficient increasing and decreasing in concern of application of aminoglycoside and quinolone/fluoroquinolone specimens. The authors observed the minimal rate of coefficient in 2006–2008; this corresponds to the period of low susceptibility to quinolone/fluoroquinolone specimens and high susceptibility to aminoglycoside antibiotics.
LIVESTOCK FARMING, AQUACULTURE AND FISHERIES
The paper explores the research carried out from 1973 till 2010. The Chiniaikhinsky stretch is a transition area from oligohaline area of the Chany to mesohaline one. The stretch animal plankton contains 59 species of systematic groups; they are 28 rotifers, 24 Cladocera and 7 copepods. The stretch animal plankton belongs to fresh water aquaculture and some species belong to brackish water aquaculture. The main part of species is cosmopolitan. The researchers haven’t discovered exotic species and endemic species. Animal plankton development depends on the lake river and the Chulym and Kargat rivers runoff, which flow into the Chany lake. High-water years are characterized by fresh water fauna and dominating Mesocyclops (s. str.) leuckarti Claus, Daphnia longispina O. F. Müller, Chydorus sphaericus (O.F.M.). The authors observed brackish water fauna and dominating Diaphanosoma brachyurum (Lievin), Ceriodaphnia reticulata (Jur.), Arctodiaptomus salinus Daday in the low water years when water salinity exceeded 3 g/l. Abundance of animal plankton in the stretch varied from 623,5 thousand species/м3 to minimum 23,3 thousand species/м3; biomass of animal plankton reached maximum 24,2 g/м3 and minimum 1,2 g/м3. Changes in biomass depend on the level and abundance of dominating species, i. e. on the river runoff. The paper declares that total abundance and biomass were higher in 1973–1997 than in 1998–2010. This is explained by higher level of the river.
The researchers applied parameters of skin and hair pigmentation of pigs when breeding Kemerovskaia pig. The research employed 1 thousand of Kemerovskaia pigs. They were divided into 6 groups according to degree of dark and light skin colour (1–6 points). The authors discovered genetic heterogeneity according to pigmentation degree inherited intermediary. The researchers crossbred animals with intense dark pigmentation (1*1 point) and low intense pigmentation (6*6 points) and found out average parameter (3.65 points), 2.34 and 4.34 points correspondently. Coefficients of skin and hair pigmentation inheritability (h2) varied from 0.35 to 0.71. The paper describes double-factor analysis and shows different degree of influence of parents on color intensity of pedigree. It is observed that genotypic influence of moms on sons color intensity is 12.5 %, fathers’ influence on sons’ color intensity is 8.3 %, factors interaction is 0.95 % and both parents influence is 21.7 %. The paper demonstrates the same research results for daughters, which are 9.6; 3.1; 1.3 and 14.1 correspondently. The research hasn’t discovered sexual dimorphism on skin and hair pigmentation intense. The authors make hypothesis that pigmentation intense is determined by additive effect genes. Heterogenic selection on pigmentation intense contributed to breed hybrid vigour of piglets’ body weight at weaning, which was 5.5 % higher than in homogenic selection.
The article is concerned with aromatization of mixed feeds by means of different technological ways, which is effective method of intensive breeding of fattening yelts. Application of dry aromatizing agent dosed as 0,35g/kg DM and liquid aromatizing agent dosed as 0,17 g/120 ml Н2О/1 kg DM Caramel-Vanilla in the case reduces cost of pig aromatizing agent on 58,4 % and 81,2 %, and net profit is increasing on 25,1 % and 28,2 % in comparison with the pigmates consuming mixed feeds sprayed with dry aromatizing agent Caramel-Vanilla dosed as 1 g/kg DM and liquid aromatizing agent Caramel-Vanilla dosed as 1 g/234 ml of water pro 1 kg of SV. Application of Caramel-Vanilla liquid aromatizing agent dosed as 1 g/234 ml Н2О/1 kg DM in sprayed complete feed for Yorkshire pigs is an effective method of increasing of daily feed consumption on 5.2 %. This contributes to increasing of pig growth on 5.6 % (P < 0,01). The paper shows that application of aromatizing agent influences mobile mode of life of pigs belonging to all groups; otherwise increase in pig lifetime up to 200 days, which consumed complete feed with sprayed liquid aromatizing agent dosed as 1 g/234 ml of water pro 1 kg DM influenced resting time of the animals and increased it on 7.5 %. Time for pen motion and feed consumption decreased on 13,32 % and 8,9 % in concern with pigmates aged 120 days, and average time of daily increased on 11 % in comparison with pigmates, which consumed dry aromatizing agent dosed as 1 g/kg DM with complete feed.
The article analyzes therapeutical dose of microbiological specimen and its influence on mortality rate of Altai mirror carp larva when breeding as built. This carp is bred in the Altai region and adjusted to extreme continental climate with great variation of temperatures from 35 ºС in summer to –45 ºС in winter. The total warmth is 2 100–2 900 degree days. The period of active uptake in summer is short and it is about 90–100 days. The authors make case it is important to make conditions for increasing of carp larva resistance and provide high weight gain. The paper explores 2 doses of 200 and 300 mcl pro 0.5 kg of feed. The research was carried out at the fish farm of the II fishery zone and showed that specimen increased fish resistance and kept larva mortality rate. The authors observed higher mortality rate when applying microbiological specimen dosed daily as 300 mcl/0.5 kg of feed once a day during 5 days and then in a day until the end of the experiment (9 applications in total).
The paper describes the research in the Altai region on breeding Hereford bulls born in different seasons and application of potassium iodide in order to prevent disturbance in metabolism. The authors explored productive features of Hereford bulls born in autumn and spring in suckling period and further breeding and fattening. The researchers selected 48 similar bulls and divided them into 4 groups: 1st control group and 1st experimental group of bulls born in autumn and implanted with potassium iodide (each group contained 12 animals) and 2nd control group and 2nd experimental group of bulls born in spring and implanted with potassium iodide. On weaning, the animals received “Kaiod” tablets dosed as 12 mg pro animal in the neck subcutaneously. The authors observed that in the same conditions the bulls born in autumn consumed 6.7 % energetic units more. Consumption of digested protein in 1st control, 1st experimental and 2nd control group increased on 28.3, 17.8 and 12.6 % when daily weight gain was 855 g. It differed from other groups on 22.9, 15.6 and 11.7 % correspondently. The researchers observed lower consumption of feeds pro 1 kilo of body weight in the 2nd experimental group on 27.7 and 20.1 % in comparison with the 1st control group and 1st experimental group. The 2nd experimental group (winter bulls) differed on 18 and 10.5 %. The paper shows the lowest costs of 1 hundredweight of weight gain in the 2nd experimental group (on 11 %). The article makes case about the level of profitability, which was higher in the 2nd experimental group on 16.1 % than in the 2nd control one, 32 % higher than in the 1st control group and 22.1 % higher than in the 1st experimental group.
ECONOMICS
The publication considers problems and mechanisms of human capital assets development. The authors review the poll of rural people in order to estimate financial situation in concern of living conditions and development of human capital assets in rural areas. Studying of human capital assets is explained by new review of a person and his life as the main assets of Russian society and one of the main factors of economic progress. Modernization and technological re-equipment of the industrial sphere in Russia, agribusiness re-equipment is possible in case of sufficient human capital assets and its efficient application. Development of human capital assets and its quality increasing contributes to solving socio-economic problems and strengthens innovative development in rural areas. Human capital assets are the main source of various innovations and social changes; it is the factor of transition to new quality which is found in all spheres of social life. Nowadays, innovative development of rural areas depends on human capital assets. Bad financial situation is a strong factor restricting successful rural development. Insufficient level of human capital assets development in rural areas leads to higher requirements to qualifications, solving socio-economic problems of rural areas, new conception of personnel training and development of human capital assets. The publication suggests the main principles of conception of development of human capital assets (strengthening of state support in rural areas, development of entrepreneurship, investments in personal development, education, medicine and culture).
The article declares, poverty is the most important socio-economic thing influencing social stability and quality of living of a citizen. The methodology of calculating the income poverty line applies minimum subsistence basket, which is aimed at supporting human activity. The consumer basket is scientifically explained and includes food products, non-foods, services and compulsory payments. The cost of minimum consumer basket is defined by means of average goods prices included into the basket. The cost of living is indexed to the rate of the inflation and calculated for the main groups of people (able-bodied population, pensioners and children). This index doesn’t include communication expenses, expenses on education, repair etc. The author considers minimum living subsistence, which includes wider spectrum of goods and services to be the real index, which correlates with the index of consumer prices. The publication stipulates minimum living subsistence supports the level of wide reproduction consumption and should be considered as a low rate of human wellbeing. The paper analyzes the poverty rate in Novosibirsk region by means of different approaches to its calculation and compares the poverty rate in Novosibirsk region with the average indexes in Russia; as a result it shows the necessity to improve the mechanisms of income distribution in order to prevent population from poverty.
The article considers development and problems of insurance market as the most important factor of sustainable development of agricultural sector in Kazakhstan in the context of the Custom Union. Insurance contributes to restoration and development of productive forces in case of technical or economic problems, reduces state expenses, inflation and improves the relation between supply and demand. Agricultural insurance is one of the most efficient mechanisms of financial protection of agricultural producers in many countries. But this market tends to be at the beginning in Kazakhstan. There is no clear legislation and standards for calculation of insurance rates and risk estimation. This requires the state support that cheapens insurance for agricultural producers by means of subsidizing insurance premium and forwards public services to information and methodological support for insurance companies. The authors consider the problems of interaction between countries-participants of the Custom Union, Single Economic Space and possible risks when joining WTO as the important modern problems. Participation in the Custom Union and Single Economic Space assumes economic benefits for every country; otherwise the countries meet the risks in development of agriculture, especially this concerns agricultural sector of Kazakhstan. This is due to natural limits on crop cultivation, raw materials, general technological situation, insufficient integration with world economy and not developed industrial and social infrastructure. The article explores experience of Russia and Belarus in the sphere of agricultural insurance. The authors make guidance on development of animal insurance in Kazakhstan.
The publication represents data on agricultural production of Novosibirsk region. The analysis shows problems of agribusiness which are to be solved. The authors analyze changes in the number of rural people in Novosibirsk region and their financial situation. The research determines impacts of intensive urbanization and analyzes changes in arable land in agricultural farms and enterprises of Novosibirsk region. The authors make conclusion about deficit of machinery in agriculture and consider the system of farming in the modern aspects. The paper explains the necessity to apply watch-based method in agriculture and necessary conditions for this method. The research shows the model of economic mechanism for watch-based farming. The authors make guidance on approaches for calculation of enterprises costs related to watch-based farming application. The article explains economic effect of watch-based farming application at agricultural enterprises. The authors forecast efficiency of watch-based farming application when cultivating grain crops at agricultural enterprises of Novosibirsk region.
The paper defines the main requirements to the quality of raw milk and outlines the necessity of conforming to the requirements for raw milk producers, milk processing enterprises, catering enterprises and enterprises involved in importing the dairy production for selling in Russia. The publication analyzes qualitative indexes of milk production in agricultural enterprises of Tomsk region and reveals that growth of the indexes studied allows increasing the milk yield annually. The authors study the content of the milk sold and point out that a lot of first-rate milk is received by milk processing enterprises. The share of first-rate milk included more than third part of the total milk sold until 2013. The government introduced the technical regulations in 2013 and the requirements to the first-rate milk became stronger; so the share of the first-rate milk in total milk sold was reduced and was equal just 1.6 %. It is evident, that following the requirements for milk and dairy production in technical regulations is possible only by means of applying the modern technologies in production and selling, from feeds preparation to supplying the processing enterprise with the milk. The authors explain the necessity for agricultural enterprises to apply the modern technologies of keeping and yielding the dairy cattle, which contributes to increase the production quality and competitiveness of dairy production.
The paper speaks about holdings and synergy effect, which is explained by developing and productive interaction between participants.
