The effectiveness of agricultural production in dairy farming and the degree of its intensity are directly related to the organizational and economic mechanism of reproduction and the appropriate use of the material and technical base of agriculture. For agricultural producers, the material and technical security, as well as the methods of reproducing the material and technical base in current economic conditions, directly depend on the financial situation, the size of the enterprise, and many other factors affecting the availability of borrowed funds and state support funds. The article discusses the state of technical equipment of dairy cattle breeding, the impact of new, modern, innovative equipment on the efficiency of production. The estimation of technical support of the dairy industry in agricultural enterprises of Russia and the Omsk region is given. The methodological basis of the study was the provisions of modern concepts of analysis of agricultural economics, formalized and intuitive methods for modelling the economic development of the dairy industry. The assessment showed that the technical equipment of dairy farming and its supporting engineering base are at a relatively low level. The solution to these problems is not possible without attracting investment resources for technological and technical re-equipment of the industry.
The economic development of the agribusiness in current conditions largely depends on the implementation and practical use of scientific and technological achievements, such as new varieties of agricultural crops, high-performance machines and equipment for performing processes in crop production, animal husbandry, processing of agricultural products, robots, and information and digital technologies. Regions play a special role in this taking into account the specifics of the territories. Ensuring continuous innovative development of the agricultural sector of the economy is envisaged in the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Agriculture for 2017-2025. One of the real means of increasing the efficiency of agricultural production is the information and consulting support of the industry, which makes it possible to bring scientific and technological achievements to all participants in integrated scientific and technical projects for the development of seed breeding and production of major agricultural crops, as well as agricultural machinery. The innovative potential of the regions is entirely related to human resources and their knowledge. Regions are actively introducing elements of precision farming and smart animal husbandry into agricultural production. This is facilitated by the state agricultural policy focused on the development of innovative processes in the industry.
