Abstract. The purpose of the research was to study the influence of genotype on growth and development of purebred and crossbred bulls and the economic efficiency of beef production. Newborn bulls were split into 4 groups: I - purebred Simmental breed (control), II - Salers × Simmental crosses, III - Charolais × Simmental crosses, IV - Kazakh white-headed × Simmental crosses. It was found that the greatest average daily weight gain from birth to 6 months of age was observed in bulls of group III and amounted to 1177.2 g, which is 23.0% higher than in crossbred bulls of group IV; from 6 to 10 months such an increase was 1008.3 g, and by the end of the experiment - 1100.9 g. The results of the control slaughter showed that the heaviest carcasses were obtained from bulls of group III, which is higher than that of peers from group I in terms of pre-slaughter weight by 25.7%, carcass weight by 28.0%, slaughter weight by 27.4% and slaughter yield by 1.4%. Assessing the economic efficiency of introducing industrial crossing, it was found that group III bulls showed the highest level of profitability (48.62%), exceeding the control group by 31.29 percentage points. And crossbred animals of groups II and III were superior to their peers of group I by 5.1 and 22.41%. The results of the research confirm the effectiveness of using industrial crossing to improve production performance in livestock breeding.
