This year Agriholding KSG Agro plans to build and put into operation a new enclosure for female swine animals for 714 heads in the Nyva Trudova village (Apostolove district). Expected investment in the object will be $ 407K.
New reproducer will be equipped with machinery from the German company Big Dutchman.
It is expected that the put into operation of a new enclosure for female swine animals, which is scheduled for September-October 2019, will increase the number of grown piglets by 20%, that is 1.5-2K per month.
Now from 9 to 10K piglets are grown at the pig-breeding farm every month. The average annual number of pigs in 2018 was about 55K heads.
According to the press service of KSG Agro.

If you think of Detroit as down in the dumps, think again. Their current slogan, "America's Great Comeback City" truthfully tells it all. Motor City is on a roll and it's not just sports, cars and new casinos that draw the people to the inner city.
My recent visit was quite the opposite of my last when the downtown was a scary place. At that time the drivers of the taxis I took to check out restaurants and the nightlife advised me under no circumstances to even consider a short stroll. This time the streets were bustling day and night with people. And the most welcome surprise? The city is fast becoming a food mecca.
Almost a hundred new restaurants, breweries, distilleries and coffee shops have opened since 2013 all within the downtown area. Renee Monforton, director of marketing and communications at the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau told me that this raises the total to 325 restaurants all within the small central core.
I stayed at the MGM Grand Casino, not because I'm a gambler, but because of its chic rooms and convenient access to the city and sports venues.
This is a "Spirit of Detroit" experience through and through as the whiskey is produced on-site in at Two James from Michigan rye grain grown on local farms throughout the state. It's good hooch. Shaun Page, Beverage Development Manager for the Casino and Wine Director for Wolfgang Puck told me many customers have declared it the best whiskey they've tried. I can attest the whiskey also makes a mean Manhattan and Old Fashioned in the skilled hands of Page.
Page, named sommelier of the year in 2016, has pulled together the largest wine list in the State of Michigan worth over $11 million for the Puck restaurant with close to 2,500 selections. He seemed the perfect guy to ask for restaurant recommendations while in Detroit. Among his top picks were Wright and Co, Chartreuse, Selden Standard and Katoi. Time to explore.
First stop was Two James Distillery in Corktown, Detroit's oldest neighbourhood. They hand craft and sell premium spirits here including Catcher's Rye Whiskey (distilled from 100 percent Michigan rye), Grass Widow Bourbon (60% corn, 36% rye, 4% barley finished in Madeira barrels), Rye Dog (un-aged 100% Michigan rye grown on Wing Farms in Ann Arbor), Old Cockney Gin (winter wheat base with strong juniper notes along with floral, citrus and spice) and a Barrel Reserve Old Cockney Gin (oak aged).
While we were inside drinking, we saw thousands and thousands of bicyclers ride by. Turns out it was "Slow Roll Mondays". Slow Roll is a group bicycle ride that meets every Monday night in Detroit and has expanded into a national network of community rides. Now in its 6th Season, Slow Roll is operated by Detroit Bike City and is Michigan's largest weekly bike ride (and may become the largest in the world).
We also played the tough University of Michigan golf course which was designed in the late 1920s by Alister MacKenzie, one of golf's all-time great architects. U-M is in the midst of building an impressive new $15 million, 23,000-square-foot golf facility which will include new dining and banquet space. You don't have to be affiliated with U-M to play here – you just pay a bit more than students and grads.
The final course we played was TPC Michigan in Dearborn, a challenging Jack Nicklaus signature course on land donated by Ford Motor Company, located two miles from Ford World Headquarters. This gave us the opportunity after the game to stop for lunch at the Michigan Café at the Henry Ford Museum and have a light local inspired meal. The museum which has 26 million artefacts is all about American innovations – yes cars but much more including railcars, airplanes and furniture.
One evening we checked out Greektown – a historic commercial and entertainment district first settled in the 1830s by German immigrants. Today it's packed with Greek restaurants and you can hear Greek music played on Monroe Street throughout the day and night. PizzaPapalis famous for its deep dish pizza loaded with Wisconsin cheese has been called the best in the city for pizza (not exactly a Greek dish!).
On Page's recommended list, Wright and Company which opened July 2014 is a contemporary American small plates and craft cocktails place. Chef Marc Djozlija who worked for the Wolfgang Puck Group for 20 years creates delicious plays on tuna tartar, Thai shrimp, Maine crab toast and the like. Located in the historic Schwankovsky building, it's a trendy and cool spot.


BALTIMORE — On Saturday afternoon, Thomas Perez, the former secretary of labor running to chair the Democratic National Committee, told his supporters to be proud of the unifying race they had run.
Moments later, when Perez went outside to talk to DNC members, a supporter of Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) hounded him. As reporters watched, and staffers delicately blocked his path to Perez, the man shouted about an appearance in Kansas where Perez had accidentally called the 2016 primary "rigged," accusing the candidate of "lying" to pander to supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
Saturday's "future forum" was the last DNC gathering before Feb. 25, when Democrats will gather in Atlanta to elect new leaders. Over six public debates and a stream of TV interviews, the leading candidates had found themselves in combative agreement, arguing for a party that invests more in every state, disagreeing only about who should get them there.
The meeting here did not resolve that and showcased how the elongated race has delayed the final reckoning over the party's 2016 primary result and the test of whether Democrats can channel the protests against President Trump breaking out every weekend.
Perez, who is seen to have built a small lead in the race, had hit a tripwire while trying to calm nerves. In his speeches to local Democrats, and listening sessions in places where the party had lost badly, he had taken to saying that the 2015-era DNC unfairly scheduled late debates to benefit Hillary Clinton's candidacy, but that the primary itself was fair. At one appearance, in Kansas, he had been unclear about what was "rigged," but he had cleaned it up on Twitter.
That nonetheless started a round of commentary and angry social media, behavior that has worn down DNC members. One reason that relatively few of them have made public endorsements is angst about being hounded by calls and emails from supporters of Ellison, Sanders's choice for the job — an echo of the long summer of 2016, when Sanders supporters badgered the DNC members whose superdelegate status theoretically gave them the right to deny Clinton the nomination.
But for some DNC members, the intensity of the post-election progressive movement has cooled off fears that rejecting Ellison would lead to Sanders supporters staying outside of the party. Winnie Wong, an Occupy Wall Street veteran and Sanders organizer who helped write the principles for the Women's March on Washington and its sister marches, said at a Baltimore rally for Ellison that the DNC race's outcome mattered less than some people thought, as Democrats were scrambling to get behind the movement.
At his rally, and at the debate itself, Ellison commanded larger crowds of supporters than Perez but repeatedly refused to portray him as a threat to the grass roots.
That attitude allowed the final "future forum" to tackle a more universally disliked opponent: the old, defeated Democratic Party. Each candidate, and many outspoken DNC members, trashed the national party under former President Barack Obama for relying too heavily on data and creating overlapping campaign groups.
"I love and adore everything about President Obama except for OFA," said South Carolina Democratic chairman Jaime Harrison, criticizing Organizing for America, which has rebooted to drive turnout at congressional town halls.
"I've been a vice chair, and I don't know what the hell is going on in this party any more than you," said New Hampshire Democratic Party chairman Ray Buckley.
At the final gathering of the DNC's leadership candidates before their election, there was no discussion of whether the party's progressive platform needed to change or had alienated voters. The party's wipeout in states was blamed on farming out to consultants, and a Clinton campaign that had pivoted from economic messaging to a character attack on Trump.
Perez himself got one more chance to tackle whether the 2016 primary had been slanted, and what the party needed to do to prevent another, embittering contest. There was no confusion this time.

To evaluate the overall sustainability of proposed new management systems that will implement the innovative feeding strategies/technologies developed by the project. Specific objectives of this WP are:
to identify appropriate single and composite indicators for the evaluation of the sustainability of the proposed novel management systems;
to conduct Life Cycle Assessments of proposed new management systems across a sample of real-world production systems;
to use Cost-Benefit Analysis to evaluate the net social and economic benefits associated with proposed new management systems;
to investigate the attitudes of farmers and consumers towards the adoption of new practices associated with the proposed new management systems.
The methods adopted in WP6 are state-of-the-art applications of well-established methodologies, applied in a novel holistic way to the assessment of sustainability of the new management systems proposed in earlier WPs. A normative Delphi method (Task 6.1) will be used to obtain consensus between experts across partner countries regarding the most important indicators of the sustainability of alternative livestock feeding strategies and will be used to suggest the relative weights that these indicators could take in the subsequent sustainability appraisal. The individual indicators that will be considered will be generated through the application of relevant methodologies as set out below.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) (Task 6.2) will be used to evaluate the environmental impacts of innovative feedstuffs (WP1), precision feeding systems (WP4) and breeding solutions (WP5). Similarly, a partial Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) (Task 6.3) will be used to estimate the associated economic and social impacts of these new feeding technologies. Task 6.3 will incorporate an initial market analysis of the availability of alternative protein sources, which will then be used in WP1 to help determine which specific sources will be tested empirically.
To ensure that public attitudes towards the positive and negative externalities of these approaches are properly considered, a choice experiment approach (Task 6.4) will be used to estimate consumer preferences for relevant management attributes. In addition, a qualitative analysis of farmers' attitudes (Task 6.4) will investigate any potential barriers to the uptake of new methods and technologies and will explore how these new approaches to animal nutrition and feeding can be made more acceptable.
In Task 6.5 a composite indicator of sustainability will be constructed using the individual indicators and weights suggested by analysis of the Delphi data in Task 6.1. This will be populated by data estimated in Tasks 6.2-6.4 relating to the environmental, economic, and social impacts of potential new management approaches. This composite indicator approach allows comparing a range of feeding and nutrition solutions in terms of their sustainability and relative economic, environmental and social performance. Sensitivity analysis will then be undertaken to investigate the robustness of the evaluations under changes in assumptions about the composition of the indicator.
Task 6.1: Identification of sustainability indicators for proposed production systems (M1 -M24)
Task 6.2: Life Cycle Assessment of proposed management systems (M30 – M52)
Task 6.3: On-farm evaluation of proposed management systems (M1 – M52)
Task 6.4: Evaluation of consumer and farmer attitudes (M30 – M48)
Task 6.5 Sustainability appraisal (M45-M60)
