Order No. 3530-r of December 1, 2025
By the end of 2025, more than 30 regions will receive partial reimbursement for the costs of implementing genomic selection programs in livestock breeding. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order allocating 264.5 million rubles for this purpose. This decision will contribute to strengthening Russia's food security.
The funds are intended, among other things, for Crimea, Mordovia, Tatarstan, Perm Krai, Arkhangelsk, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kaliningrad, Lipetsk, Tula and Yaroslavl regions.
Efforts to develop genomic selection involve molecular genetic testing of young cattle. This provides information on the authenticity of the young cattle's lineage and the absence of genetic diseases, as well as determines their breeding value.
The rules for co-financing the costs of developing genomic selection in livestock breeding were approved by the Government in August 2025. According to them, a federal budget subsidy can cover up to 70% of the actual costs incurred by breeding farms. Funds are provided based on an agreement between the Ministry of Agriculture and regional authorities.
The work is being carried out within the framework of the federal project "Creating conditions for the development of scientific research in breeding and genetics," which is part of the national project to ensure technological leadership "Technological support for food security."
