The livestock sector in Belarus is on the verge of major changes

The problem of mortality and its causes

The main reason for the disposal of cattle , according to the State Control Committee, is animal diseases. The president called these facts an example of “blatant mismanagement.” The situation requires immediate measures, since the death of livestock not only reduces the overall productivity of the agricultural sector, but also negatively affects the economy of the country as a whole.

An important aspect is that many farms, according to Lukashenko, “are accustomed to hiding behind standards.” This means that instead of actively working to improve the condition of the livestock, some managers simply follow established standards, without paying attention to the actual quality of the animals. The President called for the introduction of a single standard: “a healthy animal kept in good conditions.”

Modernization and investment

Despite difficult conditions, significant funds and efforts continue to be invested in the agricultural sector of Belarus. The next round of modernization has been launched, which includes both updating equipment and introducing new technologies. This should help not only increase productivity, but also improve animal HEALTH.

In addition, the emphasis on staffing dairy complexes with highly productive livestock is becoming especially relevant. it is important not only to increase the quantity of livestock, but also to improve its quality. This requires active cooperation between the state, scientific institutions and agricultural enterprises.

Perspectives and recommendations

To solve problems in the agricultural sector of Belarus, it is necessary to:

1. Improve veterinary control: it is important to create an effective animal health monitoring system to prevent disease outbreaks.

2. Training and support for farmers: Regular training should be provided to agricultural workers so that they can learn modern methods of animal care and farm management.

3. Invest in research: Supporting research in veterinary medicine and livestock production will help find new solutions to improve productivity and livestock health.

4. Creation of uniform standards: the introduction of clear and understandable standards for keeping animals will avoid uncertainty and increase the responsibility of business owners.

In conclusion, the agricultural sector of Belarus is on the verge of major changes. Success in increasing productivity and reducing mortality in cattle depends on the joint efforts of the state, science and business. Only an integrated approach can ensure sustainable development of agriculture and increase its efficiency in the long term.
