Productivity and traits of main livestock breeds

Holstein (dairy cattle)

Most productive dairy breed: 8–12k L/lactation under intensive keeping. Sensitive to feed quality and housing — not for extensive farms.

Simmental (dual-purpose)

Milk 5–7k L + good meat gains. Hardy, suits mid-size farms; the most common dual-purpose breed in Ukraine.

Aberdeen Angus (beef)

Beef breed: marbling, 1–1.2 kg/day gain, early-maturing. For pasture keeping, no milking.

Landrace/Yorkshire (pigs)

Meat direction: 800–900 g/day gain, 2.6–3.0 feed conversion. Parent lines in industrial pig farming.

Lohmann Brown (layer)

Layer cross: 320+ eggs/yr, peak 95%+, brown egg. The most common industrial egg-production cross.

Ross-308 (broiler)

Broiler cross: slaughter weight 2.4–2.6 kg at 38–42 days, 1.5–1.7 conversion. Industrial broiler standard.

Saanen (dairy goat)

Dairy goat: 700–1000 L/lactation, 3–3.5% fat. Undemanding, stable productivity.

Merino (sheep)

Wool direction: 8–15 kg clean wool/yr, fine fleece. Meat secondary; for steppe zones.

Productivity is average under intensive keeping; extensive systems (pasture, roughage) give 20–40% less. Breed gives potential, but ration and health decide whether it's realized.
