Justification technique for projects of forming fodder production resource base

The article proposes a substantiation of the methodology for assessing projects for the formation of feed production resource base. The relevance of the research topic is given by the current state of the Russian agricultural economy as a whole and the trends in the development of animal husbandry and fodder provision, in particular. In the process of globalization of the world economy, the role and importance of the territorial system of resource support for feed production is increasing, without the effective functioning of which it is impossible to achieve the competitiveness and efficiency of domestic livestock farming, ensuring food security indicators for livestock products. The material and technical support of fodder production as an integral and most important sphere of the industry's functioning must meet the goals of the planned development of production, its integration ties in the structure of the national economic complex of the country. The branches providing livestock raising with the means of production include agricultural engineering, the production of equipment for animal husbandry and fodder production, mechanical engineering for the light and food industries, the production of veterinary medicines, etc. The production process is directly tied to the impact of animals and plants, that is, living organisms of a rather large size, therefore, equipment and places for the production process must have indicators of comfort for workers and animals, ensure safety, and stimulate an increase in the volume and quality of products. In this regard, it is important to substantiate the methodology for assessing projects for the formation of a resource base for forage production. The main results of the work represent specific recommendations that can be used to substantiate management decisions on the resource supply of feed production at livestock enterprises, as well as to substantiate the directions for increasing the efficiency of material and technical support of production. The methodological toolkit is recommended for feed manufacturers. As a result, the article proposes a methodology for substantiating projects for the formation of a resource base for fodder production, taking into account the features of the system for providing livestock with fodder, assessing the effect of technical and technological modernization of the production process.
