PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIVESTOCK FARMING IN SURKHANDARYA REGION

Abstract

In the Surkhandarya region, due to the small size of the land plots of farmers in the past, it was not possible to fully provide their livestock with feed. Only more than half of them were able to provide their livestock with feed produced by themselves (albeit partially). Most of them, three-quarters, were forced to buy it. One third of farmers cannot provide their livestock with feed grown on their plots. The main reason for this can be considered the lack of land for growing feed crops for more than half of farmers. This can be explained by administrative restrictions on the cultivation of feed crops at the expense of cotton and grain cultivation. The article analyzes the problems in this area in the Surkhandarya oasis and presents their solutions
