Breed composition of Russian farms on the Dairy map - online!
The Dairy Intelligence Agency (DIA) presented a unique interactive tool for the dairy market at the meeting of the Association of Holstein cattle producers at the exhibition “Golden autumn-2019".
The map of dairy enterprises allows to filter information on all available dairy breeds of cattle in Russia, highlighting such indicators of farms as pedigree stock, milk yield, fat and protein indicators, calf yield, service and dry period. The information is based on the database of the All-Russian research Institute of breeding (VNIIplem)
22 cattle breeds are represented in the filter of the Dairy map DIA:
Users can filter the enterprises presented on the map by breed, determine the number of enterprises that are breeding farms and breeding producers for breeding a particular breed of cattle, the total volume of milk production of these enterprises.
The Agency constantly improves the Dairy map and creates new options for a deeper analysis of the situation in the Russian dairy market. The purpose of the Map is to create a single analytical tool, accessible to all participants of the dairy market that reveals in detail all aspects of the development of the industry, from the breeding base to the volume of production of certain categories of dairy products.
"This is the first stage of serious work for the formation of a transparent dairy market, in January 2020 during the exhibition "Agros" there will be announced the expansion of the tool for the "Dairy map". Today we have the opportunity to compare the key indicators of all dairy cattle breeds in Russia. This will give the industry the opportunity to assess effectively important indicators and prospects for the development of breeds in certain regions", - said the Director of the Dairy Intelligence Agency (DIA) Mikhail Mishchenko.
The map was prepared by the joint efforts of the Association of Holstein cattle producers, VNIIplem and the Dairy Intelligence Agency. The Map also identifies enterprises that are members of the Association. Some of the farms that do not have a status of a breeding farm, but are part of the Association of Holstein cattle producers, showing high growth potential and having a herd with the highest indicators.
"This is a tool that will be the first of the list, allowing the market to develop and making the life of the dairy industry more transparent", believes Mikhail Mishchenko.
"Visualization of dairy farming in the country is very important for the industry. We know where the farms are, how much milk they produce, whether they are holdings or small businesses. But at the same time there is no clear picture about the breed composition of the herd in farms", commented Olesya Smirnova, Executive Director of NP “Association of Holstein cattle producers".
Now the tool is perfected and thanks to it, it is already possible to receive visualization of dairy breeds on a simple and clear map.
“At present 22 dairy cattle breeds are registered in Russia: we can see how they are located, why they are raised in certain regions where Holstein herds are located. Today we are covering the country and getting a clear picture: this is important for vets, for biosecurity, for service and commercial services. In fact, the tool changes the marketing strategy across the country, because as soon as the specialist receives visualization, the commercial service changes the direction of work. In my opinion, this product is in demand and will be of interest to the dairy industry", said Olesya Smirnova.
