Beef cattle breeding is the most important branch of agro -industrial complex of Kazakhstan, since providing the population with beef of the required quantity and quality is the most important component of the country's food security strategy. Aim – based on the analysis, to calculate the optimal parameters for production of cattle meat in the West Kazakhstan region, necessary to improve its efficiency. Methods – the study used a systematic approach, tools for contextual data and cause-and-effect relationships, correlation-regression and linear optimization. Results – studies confirm the importance of increasing this valuable product in the near future. To the greatest extent, this subcomplex is deve loped in Akzhaik, Baiterek, Kaztalovsky, Zhangalinsky districts, which are characterized by a favorable combination of natural and economic factors. The article analyzes the dynamics of the rate of meat production in live weight for all categories of farms. The regression dependence of the influence of livestock on the level of profitability and sales of livestock products is determined. The proposed justified concept makes it possible to develop methodological techniques for identifying the highest production indicators in beef cattle breeding and modeling their impact on efficiency. Conclusions – an increase in productivity of beef cattle is possible with a change in the conditions of keeping animals, structure of the herd, and use of market mechanisms. An increase in the number of livestock population should be ensured by expanding the material and technical base, the availability of premises for cattle and feed. Based on the study of the existing territorial organization of agriculture in the region, recommendations were developed for changing the territorial structure of this sector of agroindustrial complex. To maintain a competitive position in regional market of meat and meat products, agricultural producers and processors need to actively attract investment resources in modernization and reconstruction of production facilities. The results of the study can be used to form a clear idea of regional priorities for the development of beef cattle breeding.
