The demand for milk and dairy products is great in Armenia. So taking into consideration the necessity of applying stabling system because of the absence of natural pastures it is suggested to develop milk production in Ararat Valley, the best speicies to breed is black motley breed, particularly cows of Holstein breed. Cows of Caucasian grey breed which were obtained from the selection with American Shvitz breed can be bred as well. In the foothill and mountainous zones animal husbandry specialized in getting meat-and-dairy and meat products is considered to be economically inefficient. It is suggested to breed animals for getting dairy and meat products, and the variety to be bred is considered to be Caucasian grey breed.
