Analysis of the economic efficiency of growing pigs for meat and its improvement

Abstract

Agriculture has always played a vital role in Ukraine, which is primarily due to the geographical features of the location. Currently, the agricultural sector is the basis of the country’s international specialisation. Thus, finding opportunities to improve this sector efficiency is still relevant. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to find ways to increase efficiency during activities in one of the agriculture branches, namely livestock breeding, within the framework of raising pigs. The main methods during work were analysis, deduction, modelling, forecasting, etc. During the study, a detailed review of the considering possibilities of the efficiency improvement of raising pigs was conducted. They were conventionally divided into two categories: connected with management processes and directly caring for animals. Thus, the author concludes that by using some methods of raising animals, a better quality of meat can be achieved, and therefore receive higher profits from its sale. During the study, possibilities connected with diet regulation, animals living conditions (temperature, enclosures, etc.), genetics and some others were directly considered. As for management tips, they are also analysed and provided by the authors: in particular, it was determined that cost reduction plays a huge role in such enterprises. In addition, the work considers the features of these enterprises work in terms of environmental safety and mentions the state role in the industry development

Study of the Formation and Maintenance of Immunological Memory Cells in Response to Immunization for Myxomatosis and Viral Hemorrhagic Disease in Rabbits

“…Of these diseases, foot and mouth disease (Tyulegenov 2017), infectious rhinotracheitis and viral diarrhea (Kalinkina 2022), and brucellosis (The Ministry of Agriculture 2021) are common in cattle, camel distemper (Abdeliyev et al 2022) in camels, bird flu (Epizootic situation 2021) in chickens, and other dangerous diseases (Turmagambetova et al 2017). Infectious diseases in livestock can significantly reduce productivity and lead to livestock loss, while diseases in pets pose risks to both animals and humans (Shahini et al 2023). Vaccination, based on the adaptive immune response, is the most effective method to combat these diseases, involving cellular and humoral reactions to produce antibodies.…”
