Abstract. The crossing of local red root breeds with European red dairy cattle is actively used in modern  dairy  cattle  breeding.  The Red Danish and Angler breeds have been used since the early 70s ХХ century to increase the dairy productivity of cows and improve the technological properties of the udder. As a result, of targeted breeding work aimed at increasing the productivity of cows over the period 2000...2019, milk yield per 305 days of lactation of Red Gorbatov cows increased for 1, 2, 3 lactation and older 3th lactation by +631.0... +1127.3...+972.3...484.2 kg, respectively. In crossbred cows with Angler and Red Danish breed heredity, the increase in productivity was +1572.4...+1415.0...+1287.0...+204.5 kg of milk, respectively. There were a high genetic and phenotypic correlations between milk yield and the amount of milk fat r = 0.88...0.86, as well as between milk yield and the amount of milk protein r = 0.81...0.88. The relationship between milk yield and fat milk, as well as between milk yield and protein milk were low and ranges from r = 0.03...-0.27 to r = 0.13...-0.63. The low values of the heritability coefficient for FP and PP (h2 = 0.11...0.07, respectively) indicate that the manifestation of these traits is strongly influenced by paratypical  factors.  High  correlation  coefficients  between  milk  yield  and  milk  fat  and milk protein yield indicate that the main factor influencing milk fat and protein yield is the level of milk productivity (h2 = 0.22...0.26...0.28, respectively, in milk yield, amount of milk fat and protein). The heterogeneity of the modern herd of the Red Gorbatov breed by genotype is of scientific interest for studying the influence of improving breeds (Angler and Red Danish) on the milk productivity of the Red Gorbatov breed and allows us to gain valuable knowledge that can be used to optimize breeding work and preserve the gene pool of the breed.
