PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AVIARY FOR THE BREEDING OF HUNTING ANIMALS
Abstract
The review article presents analytical material regarding the rational management of hunting in the system of social values of the countries of the world and Ukraine. Scientific publications of foreign and domestic researchers who studied the historical aspects of hunting, the current state of development of the industry and the prospects of deer breeding in the world, Ukraine and LLC AF "Kozatska" became the materials for analytical generalization of the problem of breeding hunting animals of the deer family. In many countries of the world, enclosure hunting is actively developing for the purpose of obtaining meat and antler products. Meat of wild animals is in demand among the population. Yes, 70000 deer are harvested annually in Spain, with a total population of over 650000 deer. 30-40 million euros of income is received from the sale of venison. Deer meat, compared to meat from farmed animals, has more health benefits and is considered more natural and "organic". In addition to biologically active substances necessary for human nutrition, deer meat is a very valuable source of vitamins A, C, E and B, as well as minerals Fe, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn and Se. Red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the most common in nature and a domesticated species of deer around the world and in Ukraine, which is well adapted for cage breeding. One of the oldest reindeer farms, which keeps more than 400 animals, is located in Transcarpathia, ten kilometers from the city of Hust in the village of Lipcha. Here, for 37 years, deer have been living in conditions close to natural – on 57 hectares of land with its own reservoir, a forest strip and a field sown with grass. Red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the most common in nature and domesticated species of deer in the world and in Ukraine, which is well adapted for cell breeding. One of the oldest reindeer farms, which keeps more than 400 animals, is located in Transcarpathia, ten kilometers from the city of Khust in the village of Lipcha. Deer have been living here for 37 years in conditions close to natural – on 57 hectares of land with its own reservoir, a forest strip and a field sown with grass. In the Konotop district of the Sumy region, between the villages of Kozatske and Bochechki, a farm for breeding red deer has been created on the territory of about 50 hectares. Thus, on the territory of Ukraine there are successfully both hunting grounds and aviary farms for red deer breeding with a reliable prospect of expanded reproduction of this species. It is possible to organize a profitable hunting business more effectively under certain conditions, if it is combined with other economic activities of an agricultural enterprise, such as LLC AF "Kozatska" of the Konotop district.
