Abstract
The article analyzes the main indicators of the development of the livestock industry, which demonstrates a steady decrease in sales volumes. Based on the study of the general profitability of livestock products, it is concluded that the observed increase in the efficiency of livestock farming is associated with a reduction in the costs of agricultural producers for fodder crops, as well as with the expansion of the possibility of purchasing imported machinery, feed, additives, etc. At the same time, the achieved high profitability indicators are not sustainable, and conjunctural changes in the market do not allow us to ensure stable high financial performance.
