Agropromkomplektatsiya opened a veal village in the Kursk region

At a specialized farm for fattening and growing young cattle in the Zheleznogorsk district of the Kursk region, out of 1,800 new luxury houses, 660 have already been occupied by the first residents - Holstein bulls. The new concrete playground was created to accommodate babies from birth to three months.

«Технология выращивания телят в индивидуальных домиках имеет ряд преимуществ, – объясняет главный зоотехник-селекционер ГК «Агропромкомплектация» Мария Гридасова. – Во-первых, новорожденные малыши дышат чистым воздухом без примеси аммиака, концентрация которого неизбежно высока в корпусах содержания взрослых животных. Во-вторых, телята изолированы друг от друга в течение достаточно продолжительного периода, и отсутствие контакта между ними помогает избежать передачи различных заболеваний от больного теленка здоровому. Также важно, что естественный солнечный свет помогает организму теленка вырабатывать витамин D и служит естественным стерилизатором».

Домики в телячьей деревне расположены таким образом, что персонал спецфермы может внимательно наблюдать за здоровьем и самочувствием каждого теленка.

The site of the special farm for growing and fattening young cattle is completely filled with the Group's own livestock from livestock facilities in the Kursk and Tver regions.

“The strategy of using sexed and traditional semen at our livestock complexes takes into account filling the capacities of the special fattening farm with bulls, and dairy complexes with heifers,” comments Svetlana Trofimova, DIRECTOR of the Department of Dairy and MEAT Animal Husbandry of the Agropromkomplektatsiya Group of Companies. “Thus, Agropromkomplektatsiya not only covers its own needs for replacement young animals, but also actively sells breeding animals to third-party contractors.”

At the moment, the total number of livestock of a specialized farm for fattening and rearing young cattle in the Zheleznogorsk region is about 4656 heads. According to the development plan, by the end of the year, the capacity of the site will be about 7,000 heads of one-time content. And when the facility reaches full capacity in 2024, the annual sale of beef by Agropromkomplektatsiya to the Russian market will exceed 3,000 tons in live weight.


GC "Agropromkomplektatsiya" is one of the leading agro-industrial associations with a closed production cycle "from field to counter", which is included in the list of backbone enterprises of the Russian Federation.

Dairy farming is a priority for the Group of Companies and is represented by five cattle complexes in the Kursk and Tver regions with a total livestock of more than 40 thousand heads of the productive Holstein breed.

The total gross MILK yield reaches 630 tons per day.

With the release of new livestock sites in the Dmitrievsky and Zheleznogorsk districts of the Kursk region at full capacity, Agropromkomplektatsiya takes the 3rd position in the rating of the largest producers of raw milk in RUSSIA.

In addition, the Group of Companies includes two breeding enterprises: Agrofirma Dmitrova Gora JSC and APK-Kursk LLC.
