Genomic selection in animal husbandry: a new round of development for the Samara region

The main goal of the cooperation will be the creation of an effective system of genomic selection of dairy cattle . This will not only improve the productivity of animals, but also reduce dependence on imported genetic material, which is an important step for the development of domestic animal husbandry.

An important aspect of the cooperation plan is genotyping of dairy cattle and the creation of a single database of pedigrees, productivity and genetic information. This will help to more accurately select animals with the necessary characteristics, such as high MILK productivity, resistance to diseases and adaptability to local conditions.

Acting Governor of the Samara Region Vyacheslav Fedorishchev expressed confidence in successful cooperation with the Innopraktika company, based on the experience of working in the Tula Region. He emphasized that modern technologies in animal husbandry will help the region become even more competitive.

Natalia Popova, First Deputy General DIRECTOR of Innopraktika, emphasized that the genomic selection program not only contributes to the competitiveness of the Samara Region, but will also help improve the quality of livestock farming in general.

This partnership opens up new horizons for the development of livestock farming in the Samara Region and provides an opportunity to use advanced technologies to improve the efficiency of dairy production. As a result, the region will be able to strengthen its position in the market and ensure stable development of the industry in the future.
