Abstract: Economic and technological factors significantly influence on the development of dairy cattle breeding. In the context of foreign sanctions against Russia, the problem of the industry import dependency with breeding materials is actual. Young animals of domestic breeds are not even enough for simple reproduction. The breeding stock at farm herds is rapidly decreasing, at breeding farms this is not yet happening only due to the annual introduction of more than 20% of imported heifers into the main herd. Based on the principles of the "large-scale breeding system" which is developed by L.K. Ernst Federal Science Centre, conceptual approaches to the development of Russian dairy cattle breeding are formulated, economic levers which stimulates the strengthening of breeding base are also described.
