The article presents a study of the economic aspects of the dairy cattle artificial insemination use, including the sexed semen use. The authors’ classification of the breeding types is proposed, including on the insemination types basis and the used breeding material. The study aim is to determine the economic parameters of the dairy cattle artificial insemination system based on the use of foreign selection bulls sexed semen. Within the framework of this, the following tasks were solved: - foreign and domestic experience of using sexized semen was studied; - the breeding types classification has been developed; - production experience was carried out in the Samara region conditions; - the economic parameters of various scenarios for the dairy cattle use obtained using sexed semen have been determined. When considering the profitable part of the experiment, two scenarios were considered: - growing replacement young stock for pedigree sale to third-party organizations; - an increase in livestock for the commercial milk production. The profit from the implementation of the first scenario (the use of sperm divided by sex in the pedigree young stock sale) will amount to 7951.9 thousand rubles. The second scenario final profit, taking into account the first year production, will amount to 13026.8 thousand rubles. With further use in the production of this cattle, the additional income amount will increase by 4131.0 thousand rubles yearly. The maximum increase in the business economic efficiency (all other things being equal) is provided by the sexed semen technology use, which makes it possible to double the offspring of heifers and accordingly milk production. It makes possible to reach the farm breakeven point even without taking into account the payments of budgetary funds under the state support program.
