EXTERIOR FEATURES AND MORPHOFUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF THE UDDER OF COWS IN THE "CHERNOGORSKOYE" OPH

The purpose of the research is to study the exterior features and morphological properties of the udder of cows. Scientific research was carried out in 2023 on cows of the Simmental breed at the Chernogorskoe agricultural enterprise, a branch of the Federal Research Center KSC SB RAS of the Ust-Abakan region of the Republic of Khakassia. The research results showed that the studied cows in all body measurements and udder measurements were significantly inferior to the breeding animals of Altai LLC, which indicates the lack of targeted selection and breeding work on the farm and insufficient and unbalanced feeding of animals to reveal their genetic potential.
