The data on the natural habitation and productivity of the red-motley breed types: Yeniseiskiy and Voronezhskiy, as well as the newly created Povolzhskiy are presented in the article. Further increase in milk productivity of the red-motley breed will depend on the breeding work factors: picking of the best pedigree bulls of the domestic and world selection, breeding cows for reproduction, selection of the first-calf heifers on their own productivity and implementation of the earlier accumulated genetic potential.
