Proportion of farms of population of Krasnodar region in the total production of the main livestock production in 2011 amounted to almost 50% of all proportion. Considering that the total number of livestock in population economies is slightly more than 25%, presented data are indicative. Specialists of the state veterinary service of the region pay permanent attention to solving of problems of prevention and liquidation of infectious and parasitic diseases of cattle, preservation and increase of productivity, improvement of quality of the livestock products, as well as the protection of the environment and population from diseases common to humans and animals, in population economies, including peasant farms.
