08.00.03 – economics and management of the national economy. – Bila Tserkva
National Agrarian University, Bila Tserkva, 2021.
The dissertation generalizes theoretical principles of the economic mechanism,
factors of effective development of cattle-breeding in the conditions of uncertainty and
risk. The author deeply and systematically considers principles of its sustainable
development. The work defines institutional support of the mechanism, regulating
effective development of the branch. In this case, such institutes are the state and the
market. Theoretical bases of the regulation mechanism and development of cattlebreeding according to the world and domestic tendencies are focused on sustainable
development of the branch. The dissertation substantiates the main directions in the
development of economic mechanism transformation in modern conditions.
Peculiarities of conducting scientific research at the branch level are determined
in the work. The author has supplemented a system of indicators by assessing the
effectiveness of tools, regulating livestock production on the basis of socio-ecological
and economic efficiency ratio, as well as those of herd reproduction. This can increase
the validity and reliability of the research results.
The dissertation highlights characteristic features of livestock development,
selecting two different trends and 6 subperiods, based on the vector and relationship of
industrial environmental factors and changing rates in the volume of its products. The
author has analyzed cattle breeding development conditions in Ukraine and indicators
of its efficiency during 1990–2019, as well as factors of effective branch development
or restraining it. The author studied current instruments of state support of livestock.
The existing stable relationship between changes in the socio-ecological and economic
efficiency ratio and indicators of livestock development efficiency has been determined
in the course of the research.
The purchasing behavior of consumers of livestock products and the factors
affecting it, was closely examined , taking into account strategic parameters of the
industry, the level of income of rural and urban population.The author expresses the
opinion that the law of diminishing returns manifests in the livestock industry, by
determining the relationship between the intensity of production in the industry and its
efficiency. The dissertation analyzes specialization and concentration of production
processes in industry, determining their features. The optimal parameters of livestock
industry development in the indication systems of technogenic load on the environment
and a set of measures based on environmental requirements are highlighted in the work.
The author considers influence of a technical and technological development level of
the livestock industry on the efficiency indicators, quantitatively assessing such an
impact.
Using socio-ecological-economic efficiency coefficient and the system of
subsidy, it is possible to improve the instruments of state support of cattle breeding at
the level of economic entities of the industry with its differentiation. The dissertation
considers the mechanism of risk hedging, stability in the formation of marketable
products of economic entities in livestock industry, based on a short-term forecasting
of milk prices, by taking into account the weight share of raw materials in the sale price
of dairy products. The author defines conceptual bases of cooperation development,
generalizing historical aspects, modern world and domestic experience, and offers
ways of its activization in the field of cattle-breeding.
Key words: mechanism, development, cattle breeding, efficiency, institutions,
intensification, innovations, concentration, specialization, declining return, subsidies,
prices, cooperation.
