Improving Water Management: problems and prospects
The dynamics of water use indices in the Russian Federation and in the Vologda Region has been evaluated in the article. The dimensionless water use efficiency indices have been suggested. Small applicability of the best available technologies, high energy intensity of waste and natural water clarification, inappropriate disposal of wastewater sludge, high water tariffs in the countryside can be considered as the main problems of water use in the Vologda region. Using wastewater sludge as fertilizer is the most rational method of its disposal.
Influence of feed quality on milk productivity indicators
The article presents the results of studies on affecting of feed quality on the quality and quantity milk indicators in view of a livestock management method and milking technology. The analysis has revealed the relationship between the balanced diet of dairy cows and the level of milk yield. With the improvement of bulky feed quality the quality of milk has improved too. During the period under review we have noticed an increase in milk production and mass fraction of milk fat content using all management methods and technologies of milking. The content of the mass fraction of protein in milk has stayed almost on the same level, only a slight decrease has been observed in the milking parlor. The results of the research have shown that the increase of harvested feed level and its nutritional value improves milk production.
Investigation results of CO2 concentration in a standard barn for 200 cow heads
These investigations were conducted in a standard barn for 200 stanchion cows in the summer period with a special electronic device, the analysis of the obtained data was made with the use of graphical information modelling, the results demonstrated, that CO2 concentration was from 700 till 1200 ppm average and did not exceed 50% of the maximum permissible concentration. The lowest CO2 concentration was registered on the windward and leeward side of the barn; and the highest one was registered about in 1.4-1.9 times higher in the central part of the barn.

Assessment of the investment impact on an enterprise (branch) economic activity on the investment strategy development phase (on the example of enterprises of dairy industry)
The success of our investment activities is largely determined by the degree of the entity adaptation to the investment environment. This requires to carry out the forecast of the investment environment condition at the early stage of the investment strategy formation. This allows industry use the favourable opportunities to invest and be prepared for negative factors that may be associated with the investment process, identify the most favourable alternatives, thereby ensure the effective adaptation of investment strategy to external conditions. The article gives the algorithm of drawing up the forecast on the assessment of the investment environment impact on the enterprise (industry) economic activity as one of the initial stages of enterprise investment strategy formation. Based on the selection and testing of the proposed factors characterizing the state of the investment environment of milk processing enterprises, the assessment of the reliability rate of enterprise’s economic activity in the dairy industry on the current economic, political, and financial conditions has been made. The usage of the proposed algorithm of actions will allow adapt the investment activities of the company to the unfavourable effects of environmental factors.
Economic efficiency of canned milk product with sugar, malt and malt extract production
The work was carried out on marketing researches of the canned dairy products market of the Vologda region and the calculation of economic efficiency of the products developed on the basis of malt and malt extract production. The results of the calculation showed that the cost of new products does not exceed the desired potential customers the price established in the course of marketing research. Also, the advantage of the developed canned milk products with sugar is the increased nutritive and biological value in contrast the traditional canned milk.

Re-selection effectiveness of Kostroma purebred cattle
The research has been organized at “Experimental farm “Karavaevo” in 2015. Cows after re-selection exceed other selection types cattle in milk productivity 133kg(Р<0,001) during the 3-rd and more lactation period and 213 kg (Р<0,001) in the highest lactation time. From 70 re-selection cows 33(47%) have milk productivity more than 8000 kg during 305 lactation days. It has been noticed high breed value of bulls: Krik 9194, Ryadoc 3023, Bushuy 2726 Master›s relative 106902, Spike 5169 Leyrd›s relative group 71151 and Lednik bull 3518 Ladka›s line КТКS-253. High levels of milk production in purebreed families have been observed in animals obtained by selecting options AB × BB, AB × AB, BC × AA by EAB - blood group locus. Re-selection is of great practical importance by preparation of bulls-continuers. Thus our studies has been shown practical value of reselection in breeding dairy cattle. Genetic markers of blood groups using in selection planning allows to identify their most desirable options.
