The regional farming allocation and specialization pattern has been elaborated for grain, feed and animal production in Siberia based on its natural potential evaluation with an eye to food self-sufficiency. The book identifies guidelines for intensification of cattle, pig and sheep rearing as well as suggests target outputs of animal production and number of livestock. The grain production and food grain fund profile are likely to be determined by the Altai region, the Krasnoyarsk region, the Omsk region, the Novosibirsk region and the Kemerovsk region. The 5-10 per cent increase of pulses share in cereal crop rotations is to eliminate the plant protein lack. The Siberian natural potential allows to produce 25.9 mln tonnes of grain, of which 10.2 mln tonnes could be used as forage. Lucerne is to remain a staple forage crop. Galega herb, Sudan herb, rape, coarse beans, peas and millet are effective forage crops as well. Cattle farms are to specialize in beef production through rearing Kazakhskaya white-headed and Hereford breeds. Beef cattle is likely to account for app. 20 per cent of the total cattle number by 2015. Pork production is to be increased by 5 times and reach 452,000 tonnes. It should be developed in grain areas based on big white breed and its hybrids with Landrace, Duroc or fast-growing meat breed. It is worth restoring the previous number of local hair and half hair sheep in the Novosibirsk region, the Omsk region, the Kemerovsk region and the Altai region. The main trend of milk production improvement is a transfer to milk cows loose keeping. The target indicators for animal production are to be reached by livestock increase, except for pigs. The specialization patterns for each region are represented in the final section
