Abstract: Modern animal breeding is a high-tech industry. It utilizes advances in genetics, biotechnology, and the Internet of Things. In Russia cattle breeding is characterized by high dependence on imported technologies and genetic material, the share of which is up to 90-100%. The domestic scientific and technological potential has had weak incentives to develop in recent years. The aim of the article is to identify, on the basis of patent analysis, scientific and technological areas in cattle breeding with sufficient scientific potential, and areas where domestic potential is insignificant, but it is critically important to develop it. The analysis for the period 2006-2020 in four technological areas - biotechnology, veterinary medicine, feed production and smart farming technologies, - shows that the main patentable developments of Russian applicants are concentrated in veterinary medicine and feed production. This is mostly the legacy of Soviet scientific schools. Modern technologies, especially biotechnology, are undeveloped. Possible solution is to develop technological capacity by licensing foreign technologies and the localization of production.
