Abstract: The article analyzes the current state of development of the livestock industry in agricultural organizations of the Orel region, identifies problematic aspects and outlines development prospects. The leading and most significant sub-sectors of animal husbandry for the region have been identified: pig farming and dairy cattle breeding. The pig industry is developing at the fastest pace, the number of pigs in the region has increased almost 3 times over the past five years. At the same time, the cattle industry is in a certain stagnation. The number of cattle in the farms of the Orel region decreased by 14,8% during the analyzed period. In the region, the average productivity of cows and the increase in live weight of pigs exceed similar indicators in Russia. Pig farming and dairy cattle breeding are profitable industries, the profitability of milk is 31,5%, and the profitability of the pig industry is 23,6 percent. An analysis of the efficiency of livestock production in individual agricultural organizations shows that production efficiency is determined by a set of competent management decisions that take into account technological, organizational, economic and social factors. A model for the formation of high-tech agribusiness based on the interaction of the state, science, education and business communities of the innovative environment is proposed.
