Abstract

The article presents the results of scientific and farming-based experience in growing and fattening cattle of French meat breeds compared with the Hereford cattle breed. The study resulted in identifying the efficiency and expediency to use French meat breeds, such as charolais and obra, which were transferred to completely new environmental conditions when producing the high-quality beef. The bulls of the French breeds had an advantage in terms of body weight and the average daily growth over the Hereford cattle breed. When studying the indicators of meat productivity, it was found that the slaughter mass of calves of the Charolais breed was 597.0 kg, about 569.0 kg, which is more than this indicator in Hereford animals by 108.5 kg kg 81.2 kg, respectively. The animals of the Hereford breed had a smaller slaughter mass, but the highest slaughter-out-percentage that was obtained from them - 60.2. The Hereford breed of calves contains a higher percentage of fat compared with the other breeds. A higher content of fat in meat indicates an earlier maturity of this cattle breed.
