Abstract: Increased food consumption increases the need for feed and the need to increase the economic efficiency of food production. Of particular importance is the increase in the production of dairy, meat and other livestock products, the basis of which is effective fodder production. Fodder production provided fodder for livestock production and, in addition, increased crop productivity in crop production through the use of crop companies, as well as the preservation of land and soil fertility. The article analyzes the volume of production, cost and financial results from the sale of feed crops in collective farms of the Irkutsk region on average for 2015-2017. The study focused on the nutritional value of fodders and the analysis of their cost when converting fodders to the same value in terms of protein. In addition, the impact of feed crop yields on cost was analyzed. Based on the study, it was concluded that it is necessary to develop, strengthen and improve fodder production by increasing the volume of production and improving the quality of produced fodders. Investments in feed processing and infrastructure facilities are urgently needed for this industry. The development of fodder production is possible only if technical modernization is provided at all stages of fodder production.
