Abstract

The aim of the study is to systematize the problems of innovation and technological development of livestock breeding in the region and to determine the guidelines for the development of biological and information technologies, which involves updating the organizational and economic mechanism of agricultural production management and obtaining new competitive products. In the course of the study, the indicators of innovative development of the industry in the Orenburg region were analyzed on the basis of the data of the Territorial Service of State Statistics. In the article the authors summarized the materials of the modern innovative development of the livestock industry in the region and revealed that in recent years there have been positive shifts in the size of investments and costs for research and development of agrarian science in the industry. The study identified the factors that hinder the innovative development of the agro-industrial complex of the Orenburg region. The deficit of own sources of working capital formation was and remains the main problem of aging means of production. The existing level of state support allowed agricultural organizations in the region to increase the average annual level of profitability, but it is important to implement modern science-based systems of innovative transformation of the industry with the transition to a new technological way of life with minimal dependence on the impact of external climatic and biological factors.
