The main array of cattle of the Ural region is represented by Holstein black-and-white cattle. Standards for live weight in various periods of life have been developed for the repair of young animals of this and other breeds. As a result of the conducted studies, a significant excess of the normative indicators for the fat mass of heifers in the breeding organi- zations of the Urals was established, which ensures a decrease in milk productivity in the whole region at the level of 7198 kg of milk with a fat content of 3.94% and protein of 3.16%. The maximum results in terms of rearing repair heifers and dairy productivity of cows were noted in breeding organizations of the Sverdlovsk and Tyumen regions.
