The Lipetsk enterprise will participate in a scientific and technical project to develop the production of domestic feed

Taking into account the requirements of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Agriculture and the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On measures to implement the state scientific and technical policy in the interests of the development of agriculture”, projects are being implemented in the region with the participation of specialized agricultural universities, research institutes and the business community.

One of the directions of the program is the subprogram "Development of the production of feed and feed additives for animals." Implementation implies grant support for all participants in order to create competitive domestic feed and feed additives for farm animals.
