MEAT PRODUCTIVITY OF CATTLE HEREFORD BREED OF DIFFERENT ORIGIN
A comparative assessment of live weight and meat productivity indices of gobies of local selection and obtained from animals imported from Sweden was carried out. Gobies of Swedish selection in the conditions of the Northern Trans-Urals showed a high value of live weight and average daily growths, surpassing the peers of the Hereford breed of Siberian selection in these indicators. The total amount of pulp received more from the bulls of the second group kg, which is more than this indicator obtained from animals of the first group by 5.6 kg. In absolute terms, bone tissue is contained more in animals of the second group by 3.1 kg (7.4%). In terms of meat productivity, bulls of Swedish selection in the conditions of the Northern Trans-Urals have indicators similar to those of Siberian selection. Based on the results, it is possible to recommend the further use of Hereford animals of Swedish origin to update the current population of Hereford cattle in Northern Trans-Urals.
