The livestock industry is an important structural element of the effective functioning of the meat subcomplex and the whole agroindustrial complex as a whole. In this sphere of management, about half of the gross agricultural output is produced (in 2017 – 48.7%). Held reform, transformation of agricultural sector in the 90-ies of XX century had a significant impact on the course and direction of this industry segment (violation of the integrity and structure of the gap and the loss of intra - and inter-industry linkages, illegal privatization, as a consequence, the recession and the bankruptcy of many companies). This situation has been stabilized and the industry has acquired a positive trend of development recently (6–7 years) after the adoption and implementation of targeted programs in the field of agriculture and food market. At the moment, modern domestic animal husbandry is developing at a fairly steady pace, but there are also systemic problems: price disparity; low resource efficiency; high depreciation of production assets and means of circulation; shortage of free cash and low availability for large credit loans; lack of highly qualified specialists; lack of implementation of mechanization and automation systems; feed supply problems. It is worth noting that this range of problems is not widespread, but they occur in many livestock farms. All this requires modern production management and public administration to take effective measures to modernize industrial enterprises. In this context, the state should create optimal conditions for fruitful interaction between investors and potential customers, act as a moderator, guarantor and insurer of the fulfillment of all obligations and agreements. It is also required to subsidize the reimbursement of costs for technical and technological re-equipment of the industry from the Federal (20–35%) and regional (20-25%) budgets; to create effective sales channels; to support projects in the field of breeding and breeding work; to continue to pay subsidies to compensate for part of the cost of increasing the number of livestock; to justify a clear action plan aimed at implementing projects in the field of modernization and reconstruction of the sectoral sphere of meat livestock for the period up to 2025; to develop a system of measures and to intensify the process of creating livestock industry associations in the regions on the basis of integration and cooperation approaches.
