Increasing the output of agricultural products and improving their quality is one of the most important tasks of ensuring the food security of the Russian Federation. The solution to this problem is impossible without the introduction of up-to-date technologies that ensure the competitiveness and output growth, which are the result of scientific research and development. The basis for increasing the efficiency of dairy farming and, as a consequence, increasing milk production is the genetic improvement of the breeding base. The organization of selection and breeding work based on the use of our own genetic resources is a strategic task of the industry, which allows increasing the output of livestock products, reducing the technological import dependence of animal husbandry and minimizing the risk of the introduction of infectious diseases into the country. At the same time, the breeding base of dairy cattle breeding is on average 13.8% of the total livestock in the Russian Federation. The breeding progress is ensured by agricultural organizations, in which less than half of the total head of cows is concentrated. They are also the main consumers of research and development results. The purpose of the study is to analyze the state of the industry and its scientific potential, as well as formulate proposals for improving scientific support to create conditions for solving the tasks set by the state.

Perceptions And Expectations

Abstract Dairy farming has an essential role in meeting the ever-increasing demand for milk. However, efforts to develop dairy farming in Indonesia are still facing various obstacles. This paper aims to analyze farmers’ perceptions and expectations toward developing dairy farming and its sustainability, along with its constraints. The data used in this paper are part of the IndoDairy Smallholder Household Survey database conducted between July and September 2017, consisting of 300 smallholder dairy farm households randomly selected from KPBS Pangalengan members. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and clustering analysis. The results show that the majority of dairy farmers (>50%) rated as ‘good’ the availability of extension services, availability of veterinary services, availability of veterinary medicines, availability of credit, and availability of concentrates; rated as ‘fair’ prices paid by buyers for milk, the number of milk buyers, and quality of the grass and forages; and rated as ‘bad’ the price of concentrates and the availability of land to purchase. In contrast, most farmers perceived the availability of land to purchase and the price of concentrates as ‘bad.’ As much as 90.3% of farmers expected to increase their dairy farm operations. The majority of dairy farmers (94%) showed their willingness to participate in training in the village, especially in animal husbandry (31.2%). This study strongly suggests that the government facilitates an increased supply of quality concentrate feed at affordable prices and land availability for dairy farming development.

This study was conducted to characterize the epidemiology of bovine brucellosis in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The state was divided into three regions, and in each region, approximately 300 properties were randomly sampled. From these selected properties, a pre-established number of animals were randomly selected and blood serum samples were obtained. A total of 3,901 animals were selected from 900 properties. For each selected property, an epidemiological questionnaire was administered to assess the type of farming, the animal husbandry practices and the sanitary practices that could be associated with the presence of brucellosis infection. The testing protocol consisted of screening the samples with a buffered acidified plate antigen test and retesting the positive samples with a complement fixation test (CF). One positive animal was enough to define an infected herd. The prevalence rates of infected herds and animals in the state were 4.5% [3.2; 6.4%] and 1.4% [0.7; 2.7%], respectively. By region, the prevalence rates of infected herds and animals, respectively, were as follows: Zona da Mata, 3.3% [1.8; 6.1%] and 1.7% [0.5; 3.0%]; Agreste, 7.4% [4.9; 10.9%] and 1.9% [0.8; 3.0%]; and Sertão, 1.3% [0.5; 3.5%] and 0.7% [0.0; 1.6%]. Flooded pastures (OR = 2.86 [1.37; 6.42]) and the presence of 13 or more females in the herd (3rd quartile) (OR = 2.65 [1.19; 5.89]) were identified as risk factors. The existence of veterinary care emerged as a protective factor against bovine brucellosis in the state of Pernambuco (OR = 0.24 [0.10; 0.58]).
