Abstract: The article examines the current trends in the development of feed production in the Voronezh region. It was revealed that the provision of animals with high-quality plant feeds in the region remains insufficient, and in most enterprises their deficiency does not allow balancing diets in terms of nutrition, macro- and microelements, vitamins. There is a tendency to reduce the consumption of coarse and juicy feeds in the structure of the cattle diet, while the proportion of concentrates reaches 50% at a rate of 30-40%. This leads to a reduction in the period of economic use of cows and a decrease in the genetic potential of productivity. The analysis showed that natural forage lands are used irrationally in the region. Cattle’s grazing is carried out only on 20% of the pasture area, which is economically impractical. It is concluded that the development of feed production should be based on the fundamental improvement of hayfields and pastures, the introduction of legume perennial grasses into crop rotation, the introduction of innovations and advanced scientific achievements.
