The state will reimburse breeding farms for part of the costs of conducting molecular genetic examination of breeding young cattle. The resolution approving the rules for providing subsidies for these purposes was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The adopted decision will contribute to the further development of breeding animal husbandry and strengthening Russia's food security.
Molecular genetic examination will provide information on the authenticity of the origin of breeding young animals and the presence of genetically determined diseases in animals. In addition, it will make it possible to conduct genomic studies of the breeding value of a particular animal.
The amount of the subsidy transferred to the budgets of the constituent entities will be up to 70% of the actual costs incurred by breeding farms. Funds will be provided on the basis of an agreement between the Ministry of Agriculture and regional authorities and distributed using the state information system "Electronic Budget".
It is planned that in 2025, 110 thousand animals will undergo molecular genetic examination in Russia.
During the discussion of this issue at a meeting with Deputy Prime Ministers on August 11, Mikhail Mishustin asked Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev to keep the issues of breeding animal husbandry development under his personal control.
The work is being carried out within the framework of the federal project "Creating conditions for the development of scientific research in breeding and genetics", which is part of the national project to ensure technological leadership "Technological support for food security".
The signed document amends Government Decree No. 717 of July 14, 2012.
