WAYS OF EXPANDING THE PRODUCTION OF ORGANIC FOOD ON THE EXAMPLE OF SHIDA KAKHETI ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

Abstract 

The paper shows that the development of animal husbandry is organically connected with the existence of a solid food base. Agricultural enterprises should be continuously increased to improve the structure of cultivated areas. The crops that give the most abundant harvest and food unit should be sown preferentially.

As a result of the research, it is clear that in 1983, compared to 1969, the increase in the area of grain-leguminous crops was mainly carried out by the increase of oat and corn crops, which should be considered the right direction of the increase in grain production.

For the development of livestock farmers of Georgia, natural fodder pastures have been of great importance since ancient times, for example, in the valley of Khorkhi district of Dusheti district, where nomadic herding is well developed, in the spring, as soon as the grass grows, the   population does not give food to pigs anymore, they chew the food they get with their mouths.

Natural food from pastures in pig farming, especially in nomadic ones, the leading place is always occupied by deciduous forests. In the future, these forests will undoubtedly have the same purpose, because for such conditions, the pig is considered the best assimilator of forest food. Here we would like to note that the yield of forest fruits is not the same every year, therefore, in nomadic herdsmanship, the rational combination of natural food base and baguri nutrition is a very important task.
