Management of reproduction of the livestock branch as the basis of its innovation-and-investment development
Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of the study is to develop directions for improving the management of livestock reproduction processes on the basis of its innovation-and-investment development. Methodology / approach. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is the dialectical method of cognition, conceptual provisions of economic theory, scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists on the management of the process of reproduction of animal husbandry and a systematic approach to the study and timely detection of various socio-economic and industrial problems. The study of economic aspects of management of the process of revival and effective development of animal husbandry was carried out using general scientific (analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization) and statistical and mathematical methods (correlation, regression, scenario planning, mathematical modeling and forecasting of economic processes). Results. The application of the proposed methods and methodological approaches made it possible to take into account the main components of the management system to reproduce the potential of the industry to identify prospects for growth in gross livestock production and predict changes in economic indicators of its innovation and investment development in the future. The use of systematic and abstract-logical approaches contributed to the formation of a strategy for the revival of the livestock industry based on a list of development scenarios in accordance with the objectives for its implementation and provided an opportunity to outline the problem area for economic modernization of livestock. Originality / scientific novelty. For the first time, a mechanism for modernization and development of animal husbandry, flexible to economic and social changes in production, is developed, which provides the possibility of modernization processes in the main subsectors of animal husbandry and the introduction of innovative technologies for livestock production. It is developed the study of the use of an alternative method of forecasting priority economic parameters under the conditions of unstable tendencies of agricultural production and dynamic changes in the development of animal husbandry under the influence of factors that are changed with different intensity over a long period. Practical value / implications. The developed theoretical and practical principles made it possible to reveal the integrity of the process of managing the reproduction and development of the livestock industry. The conducted forecast allowed stating changes in production of livestock products and productivity of animals. The obtained results helped to identify the factors that prevent the changing economic, social, political and environmental conditions to transfer the livestock industry to an innovative path of its development through the introduction of modern technologies.
