Abstract: Conducting research aimed at improving the efficiency of livestock sub-sectors in modern economic conditions requires the use of a systematic approach from the standpoint of both ensuring food security of the country and improving the financial and economic situation of agribusiness entities. Analysis of the current state of technological development of livestock farming showed that a significant part of production processes is carried out using foreign means of production and consumables. The current situation creates increasing risks of reducing the sustainability of the domestic agricultural sector of the economy in various negative external geopolitical factors and threatens the increase in the volume of finished goods production and the implementation of the Food Security Doctrine, and requires the implementation of a set of measures aimed at increasing the level of technical and technological sovereignty. Based on the analysis, the article establishes the main trends in the technological and economic development of the industry, the level of dependence on the import of production resources and technologies. The role of technological modernization of animal husbandry and intensification of production in the implementation of the import substitution program and increasing the production of animal food products is shown. The transfer of new technologies and design solutions allowed significantly improving the key indicators of technological development of the industry during the implementation of the import substitution program. For 2013-2023. The average daily gains in growing and fattening pigs increased by 11.1% to 560 g, the average live weight of one head of pigs increased by 13.2% to 120 kg, while reducing feed costs by 15.7%. In agricultural organizations, the annual milk yield per cow for the same period increased by 75.1% to 7911 kg, and feed consumption for the production of 1 center of milk decreased by 20.0% to 0.88 centers of feed units. The results of the analysis made it possible to propose priority measures and mechanisms to reduce the technological import dependence of the industry.
