Implementation of the FSTP Subprogram “Creation of a Domestic Competitive Cross of Meat Chickens for the Purpose of Producing Broilers”

Abstract

It has been established that two independent sources of genetic material of meat chickens have been preserved, providing industrial production throughout the world, including about 95% of broiler meat in Russia. To reduce such dependence, the subprogram of the FSTP is being implemented. The analysis showed that, as part of the implementation of the subprogram, initial lines have already been created, a center for their replication has been built, the reproducers for parent forms are being built, which should ensure import substitution of up to 50% of the current level.
