Purpose. Commercial fodder production, in contrast to fodder production, is aimed at selling or exchanging products, focused on the market economy and is able to provide livestock with fodder when there is a shortage of land resources for growing fodder crops. Reforming the sphere of commercial fodder production is becoming an urgent task, which includes search, investment and implementation of innovations, improvement of fodder quality; formation of the feed market and its development; determination of investment objects for commercial fodder production and the features of modern technologies for the procurement, storage and use of fodder; calculation of the volume of investments. Methods. In the process of the research, the following methods were used: theoretical generalization; the empirical base is formed on the basis of: conference materials, literature data and information from the “Internet” computer network. Results. Classification of innovations is considered and the main types of innovations in fodder production are identified by areas of development. Feed innovation can be reactionary and strategic. The latter are more often manifested in the development and implementation of large investment projects related to the construction of the own feed processing units. The reactionary ones, in turn, can be associated with the purchase of new forage harvesting equipment in order to replace worn-out fixed assets. Taking into account the tasks of feed production, a mechanism for the development of the industry has been formed. Conclusions. The main tasks facing innovations in feed production are: optimization of feed to increase the productivity of farm animals and increase efficiency of the use of land resources of agricultural enterprises. Investments in innovations in the agricultural sector, including commercial fodder production, is a vital necessity for the further development of enterprises and the agricultural sector as a whole. |
