Abstract: Achieving food security is one of the most important strategic tasks of state development. Despite the significant contribution of domestic agricultural producers to the country development, the current situation in the agrarian sector of our country has negatively affected the availability of high-quality food products and, in particular, meat products, for certain categories of residents of Russian regions. Currently, any agricultural organization seeks to increase the meat productivity of young cattle, improve the quality of livestock products produced. The authors note the key role of beef production and sales due to the high demand of this product for the population of the Russian Federation. It is stated, that one of the key factors in improving the quality and increasing the volume of beef production is the formation of balanced and nutritious diets for animals, the use of biologically active substances in cattle feed rations. In order to achieve the goals the authors of the article suggest using the feed additive «Biodarin» in the optimal feeding diets formation for farm animals. The made calculations showed that the highest economic effect is reached when using probiotic-feeding additive in doses equal to 7.0 g/kg of concentrates, which promotes to decrease the cost of 1 centner of growth by 5% and to increase the profitability of beef production by 4.8%.
