The paper presents the indicators of feed conversion from the new first-calving daughters of 14 bull producers of two lines of black and motley Holstein breed in the conditions of their breeding in a livestock complex. Groups of analogues were selected. The costs of dry matter, energy exchange, crude protein, physically effective neutral-detergent fiber (physis. NDC), sugar, starch, crude fat and concentrates per 1 kg of milk, milk fat and protein are calculated. In the first calves of the Reflection Sovering line, the production of 1 kg of milk was much less spent than in their peers from the Vis Back Aydial line of metabolic energy, dry matter, nutrients and concentrates. Maximum milk productivity was noted in the daughters of the bull Modifi, in whom the average daily yield (32.3 kg) and the content of milk fat and protein (2.41 kg) were significantly higher than the average on the farm. In the daughters of the bull Alta Depot, on the contrary, the average daily indicators of yield (28.0 kg), milk fat and protein (2.13 kg) were significantly lower. Conversion rates for the production of 1 kg of milk, as well as milk fat and protein, were significantly lower in the daughters of three bulls: Modifi, Aros from the Vis Back Aydial line and Kaminsky from the Reflection Sovering line. For the daughters of these bulls, the cost of concentrates per 1 kg of milk was 287-300 g and was significantly lower than the herd average. The low costs of concentrates per 1 kg of milk fat and protein (3.84 kg) differed only in the daughter of the bull Modifi. Higher costs of dry matter, exchange energy, nutrients were noted in the daughters of the Alta Depot bull from the Vis Back Aydial line. They also spent the maximum amount of concentrates per 1 kg of milk, milk fat and protein, respectively, 333 g and 4.37 kg. According to the results of our research, the best on the farm in terms of conversion exchange of energy, dry matter, nutrients and concentrates per 1 kg of milk, milk fat and protein were the daughters of the bulls Modifi, Aros from the Vis Back Aydial line and Kaminsky from the Reflection Sovering line.

   When growing microgreens, edible young, tender sprouts are obtained from the seeds of various types of vegetables, field crops, aromatic herbs and wild plants. White mustard (Sinapis alba) is a promising agricultural crop with a wide range of applications. Today, one of the interesting directions is its use for the production of microgreens.

   The purpose of the research was to control the quality and safety of white mustard microgreens sold in retail stores and white mustard grown in laboratory conditions.

   Studied: labeling, organoleptic characteristics, nutritional value, safety and price category of microgreens. A violation of the labeling requirements regarding the completeness of the information contained on the packaging when selling white mustard microgreens of the FAZA trademark and seeds for its cultivation of the Green Corner trademark in retail sales was revealed. Manufacturers of these products are recommended to bring the labeling details into compliance with the standards of TR CU 022/2011 and GOST R 51074-2003. Control of the quality and safety of microgreens in commercial circulation and microgreens grown in laboratory conditions, in both cases showed their compliance with the requirements of the Veterinary and Sanitary Examination Rules, SanPiN 2.3.2.1078-2001 and TR CU 021/2011. In a comparative aspect, microgreens obtained independently have a lower price indicator (1.8 times), exceed commercial microgreens in terms of dry matter content (2.7 times), contain less nitrates (2 times) and cesium radionuclide – 137 (30 times). The competitor sample, in turn, contains more microelements - Fe (27.3%), Cu (900%), Zn (24.1%), Mn (50%) - against the background of a lower toxicant load. tami Cd (by 10.3%) and Ni. Consumption of 100 g of the studied samples of white mustard microgreens can satisfy 27 - 28% of the recommended Mg intake for an adult.

   One of the current trends in the food industry is the search for alternative sources of protein. The need for new sources is due to various factors: many people refuse to eat animal food for ethical and religious reasons; allergy to protein, especially egg protein, is one of the most common diseases among young children; animal husbandry is one of the most environmentally harmful industries. Plant sources of protein include aquafaba - decoctions of various leguminous crops. By its technological properties it is close to egg white and is often used as its alternative. This article presents the results of research of chocolate mousses made on the basis of aquafaba (pouring liquid) of peas, beans and chickpeas. Experimental samples made on the basis of model recipes using aquafaba of different legumes are compared with the control sample prepared by the traditional method on the basis of egg white, in the following indicators: organoleptic, physicochemical (titratable and active acidity, mass fraction of moisture and solids, form stability), storability, nutritional and energy value. According to the results of research, organoleptic parameters of experimental samples are not inferior to the control, and such as structure and appearance are superior to the control sample. Titratable acidity varies depending on the type of aquafaba used: the maximum values were observed in mousses based on aquafaba beans - 2.0 and 2.5 deg. Mass fraction of moisture and dry matter in experimental samples of mousse in comparison with the control varies in the following ratio, respectively: moisture : dry matter 1:4 in the control sample, while in experimental samples on average from 1:1 to 1.5:1. In the study of storability it was found that mousse with the use of aquafaba peas after a day of storage lose shape, while the mousse based on aquafaba beans noted the preservation of the shape of products. Nutritional value of experimental samples of mousses based on aquafaba on average is 199 kcal per 100 g against 229 kcal in the control. The optimal recipe was adopted as the recipe of mousse based on aquafaba beans with the addition of bitter and milk chocolate (sample 3).

   In recent years, there has been an increase in the consumption of confectionery products in the Russian Federation – by 2.5-8.2%. Butter cookies are in particular demand in the structure of confectionery production. In this regard, to meet the needs of consumers, it is necessary not only to expand the assortment of confectionery products, but also to develop recipes for new products that differ in their original taste and useful properties.

   The object of research is sweet shortbread cookies with the addition of chia seeds and cherry flour.

   Changes in organoleptic, physico-chemical parameters and safety indicators were studied when 5 % and 10 % of cherry flour was added to the formulation instead of wheat flour. According to the results of the organoleptic evaluation, it was found that the obtained cookie samples with the addition of 5% cherry flour, as well as without its addition, fully complied with the requirements of GOST 24901-2014 in shape, surface, color, and appearance in the fracture. The sample containing 10% cherry flour had a sickly-sweet taste, which does not meet the requirements of the standard. The maximum number of points in the tasting evaluation was obtained by a sample with the addition of 5% cherry flour. All the samples under study met the requirements of regulatory documents on physico-chemical and safety indicators. The addition of cherry flour to the cookie recipe leads to a tendency to reduce the moisture and fat content in the product and to increase the sugar content. As a result of the research, a recipe for rich shortbread cookies with chia seeds and the addition of cherry flour has been developed.

   The effect of the probiotic drug Vetom 3.22 on the body of silver crucian carp when used as a feed additive against the background of an acute course of the cyprinid herpes virus type 2 (CyHV-2) was shown. Diagnosis of this disease before the manifestation of characteristic clinical signs is difficult, and specific treatment has not been developed, so therapy that supports immunity is used. The physiological state of goldfish during the experiment was assessed based on the results of hematological analysis. Individuals not infected with the specified virus were selected as a control group. Research results have shown that Vetom 3.22 has a beneficial effect on the fish body: the immune response to the disease with cyprinid herpes virus type 2 (CyHV-2) is increased by improving the process of leukopoiesis, metabolism is stimulated by an increase in the number of red blood cells. The drug can be successfully used as a biologically active additive to feed, including as an adjunct in the treatment of fish for diseases for which no drug measures have been developed. However, it should be taken into account that the drug Vetom 3.22 is not a therapeutic agent, therefore, in case of serious fish diseases, in addition to it, the use of specialized drugs is required. The results obtained can be used to prepare practical recommendations on measures to combat acute disease in aquaculture.

   The Altai Republic has a livestock sector, so the main task of crop production is to increase the production of high-quality and balanced feed. This article presents the results of research on the productivity and nutritional value of cereal and legume agrocenoses cultivated in the mid-mountain zone of the Altai Republic. Field experiments were conducted on the basis of the “Experimental station “AESKH”, the village of Cherga in the Shebalinsky subzone of the mid-mountain zone of the Altai Republic. Annual cereal and legume forage crops were studied in single-species and mixed crops. The results of research on the growth, development, yield and nutritional value of cereal and legume agrocenoses over two years are presented. The following types and varieties were used in the test: from cereals – oats Argument, Sudanka Prialeiskaya 7; from legumes – Altai universal peas and Siberian clover 2. The ratio of grass mixtures during sowing: 70 % of cereals and 30 % of legumes. The most productive options were oats + peas and oats + sweet clover. These agrocenoses formed an average of 12.5 to 22.0 t/ha of green mass in two years. According to the availability of digestible protein for 1 feed unit, the best result was shown by the options: oats + donnik (124 g), sudanka + donnik (130 g). The following options have a great advantage in terms of energy exchange and feed units: sudanka + peas, oats + sweet clover. All the agrocenoses studied by us correspond to the zootechnical norm of providing 1 feed unit with digestible protein 105-115 g. Legumes in single–species sowing are sufficiently highly provided with digestible protein and, when added to the cereal component, provide a higher-quality feed balanced in protein.

   Research results have shown that the use of whey SGOL-1-40 in the diets of broiler chickens leads to improved growth and development of poultry. In particular, an increase in body weight of 5–7 %, improved digestion and absorption of nutrients, as well as increased immunity and a decrease in poultry morbidity were noted. Feeding of this additive also affected the productive indicators of poultry: an increase in live weight, which was higher during all periods of growing (significantly at P ≤ 0.99) in relation to the control group, indicators of absolute and average daily gain; safety of livestock (increased by 2 %), reducing feed costs (in the 2^nd group compared to the 1^st by 4.2 %). The use of whey SGOL-1-40 in diets for raising broiler chickens has reduced the cost of feeding poultry, since the additive contains many nutrients that make it possible to reduce the amount of other feed additives. Feeding SGOL-1-40 led to an improvement in the quality indicators of meat products, since the intensity of metabolic processes in the body directly depends on the feed factor, which is confirmed by the reliable superiority of the experimental group in the slaughter yield of gutted carcasses and the weight of edible parts. In turn, this made it possible to increase the level of profitability of meat production in the conditions of industrial poultry farming.

   Transit starch is that part of the feed that is not broken down in the rumen, but is almost completely digested by enzymes in the small intestine into glucose and disaccharides. Once absorbed, these sugars become available for energy production. Glucose is a so-called “glucogenic energy source”, which is converted into lactose in the digestive system of dairy cattle, stimulating milk production and protein content in milk. When too much transit starch enters the small intestine, the starch passes through the cow’s digestive system undigested and particles can be the manure. As a result of research, the maximum absorption capacity of transit starch in the small intestine was identified – 1500–1750 g per day, this corresponds to a maximum content 6–7 % of transit starch in the general diet of cows. The main bulk feed for ruminants is corn silage, the production of which in the Republic of Belarus is annually at the level of 20 million tons. In diets where corn silage predominates, transit starch is an essential nutritional component that increases the milk productivity of animals. An increase in the level of starch passing through the rumen in the feed ration by an average of 17.5 % affected the dynamics of cow productivity. This effect manifested itself in the form of an increase in daily milk yield of natural milk by11.76 %, with a significant difference from the control. It should be noted that the change in the level of energy intake into the body and, most importantly, the energy nutrition of cows not only ensured an increase in absolute milk yield, but also caused an improvement in the quality of milk, which manifested itself in an increase in the concentration of fat and at the same time protein in it (2.15 % and 1.35 % respectively). As a result, conversion to milk of basic content showed an increase in milk productivity by 10.37 %.

   The development of aquaculture is a priority and significant direction not only in the Novosibirsk region, but also in many other regions of the country. Regions that do not have open access to marine basins compensate for the shortage of fish on the market with the help of neighboring regions or by doing their own breeding in artificial reservoirs. The amount of fish exported in a particular region also reflects the security of the local market. In this regard, the spread of fish diseases is an urgent issue and determines the relevance of measures aimed at ensuring the prevention and improvement of reservoirs. The Ob basin of the Novosibirsk region is recognized as unfavorable for opisthorchiasis, which reduces its economic development and sanitary well-being. Preventive measures should be aimed at maintaining compliance with current standards that ensure the sustainability of economic development and the correction of the epizootic situation. The impact of both internal and external factors on aquaculture enterprises creates certain risks. At the same time, illegal fishing and uncontrolled introduction of products into circulation play an almost decisive role. Indicators of the safety and quality of aquaculture affect the ability of enterprises to provide domestic and foreign markets. Statistical and analytical methods were used for the study, which make it possible to analyze the collected data and the information provided. Updating the information in the register of enterprises certified for the right to export allows specialists of the Rosselkhoznadzor and the Federal State Budgetary Institution “NCBRP” to carry out joint work and interdepartmental activities. It is also worth noting that recently the role and interest of business in investing funds and resources in the development of the aquaculture industry has increased.

   The study is devoted to the application of SWOT-analysis method for studying rural areas in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The SWOT-analysis method is one of the most widely used tools for studying and assessing rural areas. Analyzing the strengths of agriculture helps to identify and study its advantages and disadvantages. The analysis of weaknesses helps to identify such factors as unfavorable climatic conditions, lack of qualified personnel, underdeveloped infrastructure and lack of developed transport infrastructure. The strengths of agriculture in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) include unique natural resources, availability of ecologically clean territory, tourism opportunities and original way of life and culture. The threats include deterioration of the environmental situation, demographic problems, climate change, etc. To overcome threats in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) it is necessary to develop comprehensive strategies and programs that will take into account the peculiarities of the region and purposefully address these problems. It is also important to ensure effective management and coordination between different stakeholders, for which “windows of opportunity” have been identified.

   An attempt has been made to assess the potential for sustainable development of rural areas of the Siberian Federal District in order to identify promising areas for their strategic development. As the main hypothesis, it is assumed that the sustainability of rural areas is achieved exclusively with the uniform availability of the economic, social and environmental potential of the territory. It is determined that the integral stability indicator is a combination of all three types of potential. The article proposes a system of indicators reflecting the economic, social and environmental potential of rural areas, and tests the developed methodology on the example of the subjects of the Siberian Federal District. As a result of calculations, the highest indicator of rural sustainability was identified in the Altai and Krasnoyarsk Territories and the Novosibirsk region. An ideal uniform stability model is not observed in any of the subjects of the Siberian Federal District. The Altai, Krasnoyarsk Territories and Irkutsk Region are the closest to it. The authors have proposed promising directions for improving the sustainability of rural areas in Siberia, including: 1) support for the acquisition and introduction of modern technologies into production that increase labor productivity; 2) implementation of comprehensive rural improvement projects involving private companies on a parity basis; 3) support for the transition of agricultural producers to an organic type of production; 4) support for social innovation projects in rural areas.

   Theoretical and practical analysis of the implementation of national projects as a factor in ensuring Russia’s economic security has been carried out. The current political and economic situation both on the external and internal contours of the country, numerous economic sanctions, persistent attempts to lead our state to economic and political isolation, the need for a sharp increase in defense spending and maintenance of Russia’s global strategic interests in the world - all this carries significant risks, poses threats to the country’s economic security and creates serious problems for its provision. Nowadays, the military component has become more and more important in ensuring security, including economic security, and the economy, in turn, has become one of the methods of modern warfare. For Russia, the special military operation in Ukraine, peacekeeping operation in Armenia, assistance in the fight against international terrorism in Syria not only required huge financial investments, but also led to an intensive increase in the number of armed forces, which in turn caused the diversion of labor resources and the emergence of a shortage of personnel in the economic sector. Against the background of the urgent restructuring of the current economic model and its accelerated reorientation towards the military-industrial complex, the tasks of implementing the national projects approved in our country were overshadowed. Nevertheless, it is safe to say that national projects are the most important tool to minimize risks in the field of ensuring economic security of the state. One of such tools is the Decree No. 204 “On National Goals and Strategic Objectives of the Development of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2024” signed by the President of the Russian Federation on May 7, 2018, commonly known as the May decrees. This document has not lost its significance today and will remain relevant for many years to come, as it lays down the basic principles and ways of maintaining the country’s economic security. In the modern world, while the goal of military operations is traditionally resources, the main method is not only and not so much the capture of territory, but ideological subjugation through the imposition on the opponent by any means, primarily economic, of its worldview and value model. Thus, the time and space frames, the concepts of the beginning and end of hostilities, front and rear lose their substantive and fundamental meaning. In addition to the confrontation of armies and weapons, modern war is a confrontation of ideologies, traditional and conjunctural meanings, historical facts and their interpretations. It is obvious that at the present stage a rethinking of some concepts, approaches and interrelations in the process of ensuring the security of the state is required. In this context, the implementation of national projects is one of the main factors and acquires special importance. The study proposes to study the concept of “economic security”, to trace the relationship between the provision of economic security and the implementation of national strategies, to distinguish the meanings of the concepts of national strategy and national project.

   The article substantiates the development of a concept for the development of sheep breeding in the Trans-Baikal Territory, the implementation of which will make it possible to comprehensively ensure the development of the industry, taking into account the local breed composition of animals, the availability of agricultural land, and the functioning of breeding organisations. The concept formulates the goal, objectives, object, and research subject. The main directions of the developed concept are: obtaining organic sheep products - meat, milk, wool, sheepskin; ensuring a unified processing cycle for sheep products, incl. wool, from raw materials to yarn; maintaining environmental balance (preventing desertification); efficient use of agricultural land; expansion of exports of sheep products. The main directions of the developed concept are: obtaining organic sheep products - meat, milk, wool, sheepskin; ensuring a unified processing cycle for sheep products, incl. wool, from raw materials to yarn; maintaining environmental balance (preventing desertification); efficient use of agricultural land; expansion of exports of sheep products. The principles and the possible effectiveness of the proposed directions for the development of sheep breeding are determined. The recommended activities will facilitate selection and breeding work between agricultural producers and breeding organisations, the creation of a consumer cooperative to ensure integrated processing of sheep products, the development of new technologies for improving natural pastures, the use of pasture rotation and the development of organic sheep farming, and export activities of processed sheep products.

   The article shows the formation and development of peasant farms in Khakassia. During a long historical period (about 100 years) there were successive changes in the forms of organization of peasant labor from the so-called kulak farms through the creation of collective farms (kolkhozes) of the Soviet time to the acquisition of the status of peasant farms by the end of the 1980^s. At the initial stage, the number of such farms grew steadily and reached 270 thousand, but during the reforms of the 1990s their sharp quantitative decline was registered. The consequence of these processes was naturally a general decline in the production of livestock products, which in the early 2000^s amounted to only 53 % of the amount of product produced by the early 1990^s. Traditionally, the product of special importance for Khakassia was mutton, the production of which fell by a catastrophic 82 %. There were many reasons for such negative processes in the functioning of peasant farms at the end of the 20^th century, including the lack of demand for sheep wool. Nevertheless, at present the main suppliers of high-quality and ecologically clean livestock products in Khakassia continue to be personal subsidiary farms of various types, of which peasant (farmer) farms are in second place in terms of production volumes. If we talk about the output of livestock production per capita per year in the republic, then in recent years there has been a marked decline in the production of beef (from 41 to 38.1 kg), milk and dairy products (from 273 to 246.4 kg). Among its neighbors in the Siberian Federal District in the production of meat and meat products the Republic of Khakassia is on the penultimate place, ahead of only Tyva, and in the ranking of dairy production - only one position higher, occupying a place before Tyva and Krasnoyarsk Krai. The paper provides a comparative analysis of factors that allow increasing the output of agricultural products by farms of different forms of ownership for different soil and climatic conditions of the Republic of Khakassia.

   The article discusses the specifics of the mechanism of state support for technology transfer in the agro-industrial complex of the Novosibirsk region. The development of the region’s economy is closely linked with the agricultural sector. The current state of innovation activity in the agro-industrial sector is characterized by the lack of an effective mechanism for implementing innovations, high risks and insufficient level of investment.

   The purpose of the article is to identify areas for improving the existing mechanism of state support for technology transfer to enhance innovation in the agro-industrial complex of the Novosibirsk region.

   The analysis of the existing definitions of “technology transfer” made it possible to clarify the meaning of state support, taking into account the current state of affairs in this area. To activate innovative activities in the field of agriculture in the region, there is an appropriate human resource potential, technical equipment is being improved. The world-class scientific and educational center “Siberian Biotechnological Scientific and Educational Center”, created as a pilot project in 2021 with the support of the regional government, plays an important role in the system of regional support for technology transfer in the agro-industrial complex of the Novosibirsk region. Currently, the center supports innovation activities in the field of agriculture in two main areas: subsidies for technology transfer and a grant for the creation of youth laboratories. According to the authors, the development of a system of regional support for technology transfer in the agro-industrial complex will contribute not only to the socio-economic development of the industry, but also to the region as a whole.

   Based on the analysis of Russian-language literature of the last decade, the paper presents a picture of the current state of published works on the development of hunting in traditional societies of Siberia and the Far East from ancient times to the arrival of Russians. A list of publishing cities and publishing centers, the volume of publications, their typology and circulations are given; specific epochs and territories that were considered in the works are named. The topic of publications is given, examples of the structure of works and some points of view of the authors on the development of hunting in the region in antiquity and the Middle Ages are given. It is concluded that in the second and early third decades of the XXI century, the publication of works that dealt with the history of hunting in the aboriginal societies of Siberia and the Far East was quite active. A list of publishing cities is presented. It was found that mostly articles published in various continuing and periodicals were published. The monographs, which contained information about hunting, were works of a generalizing nature. The works, where there was information about the development of hunting, covered various areas: Trans-Urals, Baraboo, Upper and Lower Ob, Altai, Baikal, Transbaikalia, Amur region, Northeast Asia, etc. The development of hunting in different eras before the arrival of the Russians is highlighted, but especially great attention was paid to the Paleolithic era. The subjects of the works were different: the composition of animals, an overview of fauna, issues of paleoecology, the influence of climate, a set of hunting equipment, the use of dogs and sleds, hunting techniques, specialization of hunting activities. The authors’ points of view given in the work allow us to speak about the breadth of their interests in studying this problem, and that the main attention was paid to the set of animals that were hunted at one time or another.
