The Scientific and Practical Center for Animal Husbandry offers consumers new breeding lines of the Belarusian draft horse breed by selling young breeding stock under a manufacturing agreement and/or a license agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The new lines are intended to increase the competitiveness and demand for Belarusian draft horses based on the formation of new genealogical structures in it with the presence of stallions and mares of original exterior and constitutional characteristics, productive in a variety of uses, not only in harness, but also under saddle.

The use of horses of two created stud lines "16 Bor Lesnoy", "84 Ranok" expands the scope of application of the Belarusian draft breed not only in harness, but also in the most popular leisure horse breeding. Stallions and mares of the lines combine the good productive qualities inherent in the breed, unpretentiousness with the originality of the exterior, due to their origin from outstanding leaders of the breed unrelated to each other.

Scope - Breeding, leisure and user horse breeding of the Republic of Belarus.
Agricultural enterprises of the Republic of Belarus of all forms of ownership, peasant farms of the population for use in breeding, user, leisure horse breeding of the country, far and near abroad.

In the conditions of breeding according to the lines of Belarusian draft horses, it is not advisable to use stallions and mares of other breeds for reproduction. Horses of the line "16 Bor Lesnoy" exceed the breed standard in a set of traits by 2.4-5.4%, the line "84 Ranok" - by 1.3-3.7%. Without the use of crossbreeding, they ensure the improvement of breeding and utility qualities of young animals.

The overall phenotype assessment for 4 traits is 33.5-33.7 points, the pregnancy rate of mares is 75-100%. The maximum traction force during tests is 270.4-283.4 kg. The height of overcoming obstacles is 0.9 m and more. All traits are inherited, and the lines are interrelated during crosses.

Horses of the created stud lines are technologically easy to maintain and use, do not require specific conditions of feeding, maintenance and operation.

Manufacturers: State Enterprise ZhodinoAgroPlemElita, OJSC Agrokombinat Mir, OJSC Poleskaya Niva, OJSC Novoselki-Luchai, more than 10 entities of livestock breeding in the Republic of Belarus.
