Udmurtia increased goat milk production by 73% in 2021

Dairy goat breeding is a small livestock industry in Udmurtia, which continues to increase the pace of development. And this is mainly the contribution of small farms.

In 2021, goat farms in Udmurtia produced 1,029.7 tons of raw MILK valuable for processing, the volumes increased by 433.2 tons compared to 2020, or by 73%. Marketability of goat milk was 74%. The herd of the Udmurt goat breeders more than tripled - in a year it was increased by 3335 heads. The yield of kids per 100 goats was 75%. And today the total number of goats in Udmurtia is 4518 heads.

The Ministry of Agriculture of Udmurtia notes that this significant growth in the industry is largely due to the launch of a new large-scale production facility at Ecofarm Dubrovskoye LLC in the Kiyasovsky district. Moreover, last year three more farms specializing in the production of goat milk were opened in the republic: in the Glazovsky district of the KFH Guliyev Damir Fuzuli Ogly, in the Selta district of the IP Obukhov P.V. and in the Sharkansky district of the IP Vasilyeva L.I.

Today dairy goat breeding in Udmurtia is represented by 13 farms. The absolute leader in the production of goat milk is Agrovil LLC of the Votkinsky district, according to the results of 2021, the gross milk yield here reached 360.6 tons. But the republican rating for obtaining offspring was headed by IP Olshevskaya A.O. – 230 kids were born on the farm in 12 months.
