It shall be applicable to the following species - cattle, swine, sheep, goats and horses. As regards breeding other animals, this Law shall be applicable to the extent that the aforesaid species are not regulated by specific legislative acts. The state supports the breeding of farm animals in accordance with the strategic planning documents approved by the Government or its authorized institution. The authorized state institution in the sphere of animal breeding can approve several breeding programs for the same breed, which would include different livestock. Genetic evaluation is performed to determine the breeding value of farm animals using: (a) individual and/or progeny productivity, exterior, genomic research data contained in the breeding animal information system of breeding animals; and (b) the data of the productivity and herd book value of other countries, provided that they are conforming to the level specified by the authorized state institution in the sphere of animal breeding and can be compared with the data obtained by breeding organizations. The genetic evaluation of reproductive material shall be performed throughout the period of their use or on the market for the delivery of their semen as long as their offspring remain alive.
