Introduction. The current conditions of the agricultural sector in the Russian Federation demand a thorough reassessment of the factors influencing the efficiency of meat and dairy livestock production across various regions. Despite the relevance of this issue, comparative analyses between territories with contrasting natural and economic conditions remain underrepresented in scientific literature.
Aim. This study aims to identify differences in herd composition, productivity levels, and feed conversion profitability in the Republic of Dagestan and the Republic of Tatarstan over the period 2011–2022.
Materials and methods. Statistical data from agricultural enterprises in both regions were analyzed. The study included assessments of animal population dynamics, milk and meat productivity, feed structure, and profit per unit of live weight gain, based on feed conversion ratio.
Results. The research revealed that Tatarstan is characterized by higher productivity and a greater share of concentrates in animal diets, while Dagestan is dominated by small ruminants and the use of coarse feed.
Conclusion. The identified differences highlight the need for region-specific strategies: modernization of feed production and automation in Dagestan, and enhanced sustainability in Tatarstan. The results may be used to guide regional agropolicy and improve economic assessment models for feed efficiency in livestock farming.
