In Ukraine, a new breeding achievement in livestock breeding was officially approved - the Ukrainian trotting breed of horses. This was the result of the work of the expert commission of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, as reported by ProAgro Group.

The process of creating the Ukrainian trotting breed lasted for 30 years. The breed was formed on the basis of a population of trotting horses of domestic origin. Breeding work was carried out by the method of targeted selection, taking into account liveliness, remoteness, exterior indicators, as well as with the help of introductory corrective crosses with American standardbred and French trotting breeds.

The uniqueness of the Ukrainian trotting breed lies in its complex of features that distinguish it from other trotting breeds. It has its own characteristics according to geographical affiliation, breeding methods and genetic markers. Such diversity makes this breed valuable in the context of Ukrainian animal husbandry.

In addition, horses of the Ukrainian trotting breed are distinguished by a dry, strong constitution and a harmonious body structure, which includes an expressive harness type. Typical representatives have a medium-sized head, a muscular neck of medium length, a long sloping shoulder, a straight back of medium length, a short loin and a croup of normal slope. The limbs of horses are dry and strong, and their temperament is characterized by energy and gentleness.

One of the advantages of the new breed is its unpretentiousness and ability to adapt well to different ecological conditions of Ukraine. This makes them ideal for use in different regions of the country, which, in turn, can contribute to the development of livestock and the improvement of the economy.

Thus, the creation of the Ukrainian trotting breed of horses is an important step in the development of the agricultural sector and the preservation of animal diversity in Ukraine.
