The analysis of the state and level of livestock products development substantiates the need for the development of the beef cattle breeding industry. To improve the efficiency of the industry it is advised to benefit more fully from the available natural lands: pastures and hayfields. Attention is focused on the fact that the efficiency and competitiveness in the market for livestock products are significantly influenced by natural and climatic factors that determine the need for other resources. The statistical method confirmed that the number of farm animals in the Russian Federation compared with the pre-reform period has sharply decreased: cattle – by 3 times, cows – by 2.6 times, pigs – by 1.5 times, sheep and goats – by 2.6 times, which has led to a decrease in livestock density in general and in the productivity of agricultural land. The aim of the research was to consider natural resources in the regions of Russia to increase the livestock of farm animals and increase the volume of dairy and beef cattle breeding, especially beef. The scientific novelty lies in the development of recommendations for the further development of animal breeding in Russia based on the principle of historicism and taking into account the tendencies of the world economy in the market of livestock products.
