Abstract: A research objective is an assessment of efficiency of domestic breeds of the dairy cattle. The existing tendency of "a continuous Holsteinization" is unacceptable for Russia with its various climatic features, geographical dispersion of regional conditions. On the example of the Smolensk region the comparison of four breeds of dairy cattle is executed: Sychevsky, Brown Swiss cattle, Black Pied cattle, and Swiss Holstein. The conclusion is drawn that Sychevsky and Brown Swiss breeds concede to Swiss Holstein breed on efficiency per a cow in a year, but use duration, service the period and an exit of calfs at Swiss Holstein breed is much lower. The lifelong efficiency of these breeds has been calculated. The conclusion is drawn that genetic potential is completely not realized at any breed. Calculation of economic efficiency of use of breeds of the dairy cattle in five years has shown that Sychevsky and Brown Swiss breeds have positive result from activity, and Swiss Holstein is negative due to the lack of reproduction of herd up to standard, short terms of production use of the main herd and high charges.
