“The enterprise’s projects can become an example for livestock farmers in other regions of the region,” noted Alexey Molchanov, emphasizing the need to pay attention to various sectors of livestock farming, primarily the implementation of new projects in dairy cattle breeding and poultry farming. According to him, these can be both enterprises and family farms - all are provided with state support measures.
