Description
The development of livestock farming largely depends on the availability of high-quality and cost-effective feed resources. This study analyzes ways to improve the economic efficiency of forage crop production in Uzbekistan while incorporating best practices from countries with advanced agricultural systems. Using the IMRAD structure, the research evaluates production costs, productivity, and resource utilization, and compares them with international benchmarks. The findings suggest that adopting modern technologies, improving irrigation efficiency, and optimizing crop rotation systems can significantly enhance economic returns in the livestock sector.
