Purpose. The purpose of the study is to determine and comprehensively assess the main indicators of the efficiency of resource potential use of livestock enterprises in the Carpathian region of Ukraine and justify the corresponding reserves for their increase to ensure the growth of production of competitive products and export opportunities.
Methodology. The study was based on general scientific research methods, namely: the monographic method was used during a comprehensive study of the theoretical and practical foundations of the formation and effective use of resource potential of livestock enterprises; methods of analysis and synthesis were applied in the study of the dynamics of livestock development indicators in enterprises; the calculation-constructive method was used when determining the influence of the main factors on the indicators of the efficiency of resource potential use of enterprises, the system method was taken into account to build cause-and-effect relationships between factors and values of indicators of the effective use of resource potential of enterprises in the industry.
Results. The article examines the dynamics of the main components that form resource potential in livestock enterprises. The main factors that determined the change in the quantitative and cost indicators of the resource potential of the enterprises of the industry for the studied period were established and substantiated. A system of indicators for assessing the resource potential of the enterprises of the industry was proposed, which include: the volume and cost of products produced per average annual head of productive animals of different species, as well as per average annual conditional head for a more objective comparison; per hectare of forage land area taking into account different levels of potential yield; per ton of feed used, taking into account the conversion level for each direction of animal husbandry; per unit of capital cost.
Originality. The main reserves for increasing the efficiency of resource use in the enterprises of the animal husbandry industry of the Carpathian region were substantiated, which include the implementation of a system of organizational and economic, information and advisory and financial and investment levers to promote technological modernization of production. According to the results of the study, it was found that the efficiency of resource potential use is highest in enterprises that produce eggs, milk and raise pigs for meat with significant justified opportunities for further growth in the cost of produced products per unit of cost or the number of resources involved.
Practical value. The study consists in determining the values of the main types of indicators of the efficiency of resource potential use in enterprises of the livestock industry, as well as identifying important growth reserves for adjusting and improving the system of supporting the development of a balanced agricultural sector of the Carpathian region with an increasingly large share of livestock production in the inter-sectoral balance in order to optimally use the resources involved and increase the export opportunities of products with higher added value.
