"Sibagro" acted as an expert at the XII International Scientific and Practical Conference "Veterinary Medicine in the Agro-Industrial Complex - 2023"

The main topic of the meeting of professionals is the creation of local genetics. Experts noted that if a way to preserve the genetic potential is not found today, then in a few years the industry's enterprises will experience a decrease in production volumes.

The first step towards resolving the issue was a draft law on the creation of a federal information and analytical system of tribal resources in the country. The section participants also noted that when developing an all-Russian breeding program, it is necessary to take into account the fact that there are enough populations in the country for breeding work, but they are all different. Thoughtlessly "mixing" them, there is a risk of losing key breeding indices such as multiple pregnancies and high weight gain.

– Import ban _, including the import of animals into RUSSIA, challenges our country. Only the collaboration of science, industry and the state will help to cope with the difficulties that have arisen. We are ready to share experience, best practices, practical knowledge - manufacturers have already begun to join forces in this regard. Research in genetics is not cheap, and even large companies alone cannot afford it. But together we can achieve a lot, - says Nadezhda Yudina, the organizer of the section "Genetics in pig breeding" and the chief zootechnician-breeder of the animal husbandry department of the Sibagro company.

As a result of the conference, the professionals wrote a letter for the Union of Pig Breeders of Russia and the All-Russian Research Institute of Pedigree Business with proposals from the business community to solve the problems facing the industry.
