Abstract: The article presents an assessment of the state of dairy farming in the Arkhangelsk region. The positive dynamics of the growth of dairy productivity of cows in agricultural enterprises of all forms of ownership of the region is revealed, but at the same time there is a decrease in the profitability of the dairy industry. The main reason lies in the ill-considered actions of the management of a number of agricultural enterprises when making a decision on the replacement of domestic breeds with imported ones. The analysis showed that all previously achieved results in dairy farming have significantly decreased, with the exception of productivity growth: the yield of calves per 100 cows from 92 heads fell to 67-70 heads, the production use of cows decreased from 5.6 calving to 2.1 calving, the protein content in milk decreased from 3.3 to 3.0 ‰, the introduction of heifers into the main herd increased from 27‰ to 50 ‰, the cost of 1 litre of milk increased to the purchase price by processors. Two possible options for dairy farming are shown: crossbreeding of the Holmogorsky breed with the Holstein breed at a blood content of 75 ‰ and complete absorption of the Holmogorsky breed of the Holstein. The purpose of the research was to determine the economic feasibility of dairy farming in the farms of the Arkhangelsk region with the replacement of domestic breeds with imported ones.
