In order to ensure import substitution and threshold
values of meat production, it is necessary to stabilize
the livestock of animals and introduce intensive
technologies. In conditions of arid steppes, the animals
of Kalmyk, Hereford and Aberdeen-Angus breeds are
best suited to stall-pasture technology. Before weaning
from mothers at 7-8 months of age, their offspring is
grown without additional feeding, just mothers’ milk.
Therefore, the growth rate of suckling young animals
rarely exceeds 850 grams of daily growth, while the
live weight reaches 400-450 kilograms at the age of 18
months, with some advantage in favor of the young
generation of Hereford breed. Using the intensive 9-
months growing at the fattening complex with feeding
from the self-feeders ensured the average daily gain in
the Kalmyk bull-calves at the level of 1398 grams, and
for the Aberdeen-Angus and Hereford breeds the
growth is 1533 grams. The highest growth energy, live
weight (661 kilograms), was with Hereford bulls.
From bulls of the native Kalmyk breed with intensive
technology of growing, a heavy body weight increase
of 331 kilograms at 18 months of age was obtained.
All tested samples of meat according to
microbiological indicators comply with the
requirements of the Technical Regulations
