Measures to raise productivity included increased mechanization; improved breeding techniques to boost meat, milk, and wool yields and to cut losses from barrenness and miscarriages; and strengthened veterinary services to reduce illness. Additional livestock facilities were to be built to provide shelter from harsh winter weather and to fatten livestock. More efficient use of fodder was sought through expanding production; improving varieties; and decreasing losses in procurement, shipping, processing, and storage.
To boost productivity, measures such as increased mechanization were implemented; breeding techniques were improved to increase meat, milk, and wool yields while reducing barrenness and miscarriage rates; veterinary services were strengthened to decrease illness. Plans included building more livestock facilities for winter protection and fattening purposes. Efforts were also made to optimize fodder use by expanding production, improving varieties, and minimizing losses during procurement, transportation, processing, and storage.
