Resource management of feed production

This study is aimed at substantiating theoretical provisions on the formation of a resource management system for feed production. The information and scientific and methodological basis of the research was a review and analysis of scientific works by domestic authors on the problems of resource provision of feed production. The subject of the study is economic relations arising in the process of organizing resource provision of feed production. The research was carried out using the following methods: monographic, analytical, graphical and other methods. The research has shown that feed production is currently a key sub-sector of agriculture, affecting the development of crop production, animal husbandry, food and processing industries, reproduction of soil fertility, environmental protection and the ecological condition of rural areas. The development of the feed production sub-sector is influenced by a large number of factors that can be grouped into the following way: natural, biological and environmental; logistical and technological; organizational, economic and social factors. These factors must be taken into account when forming a resource management system for feed production. In turn, the feed production resource management system should be based on three interrelated elements: principles, functions and processes of forming the resource base of feed production. The analysis showed that as of November 1, 2023, the total feed supply of livestock (without pigs and poultry) of agricultural organizations of the Orel region per conditional head amounted to 89.4%. Feed plays a significant role in the formation of the cost of livestock products. The share of the feed base accounts for more than 60% of all production costs. Based on this, from the point of view of managerial impact, the main purpose of the functioning of the feed resource management system is not only to create conditions for the continuous provision of livestock industries with high-quality feed, but also to form a feed base with the lowest possible cost. A comprehensive management impact on all subsystems of feed production will improve the efficiency of livestock production, which is reflected in changes in economic, environmental and technological performance indicators.
