Akopyan. Despite the fact that the scientist made a significant contribution to the development of Russian animal science, no major biographical monographs have been written about his innovative achievements, his scientific works are a bibliographic rarity. Scientific heritage of K.A. Akopyan requires a deep and comprehensive analysis.

Results. The study showed that Hakobyan?s scientific heritage is unique, and the range of scientific activities is wide and varied. In addition to creating a new valuable breed, he developed methods for the accelerated intensive cultivation and fattening of young cattle, a rational system for obtaining high meat productivity. Further improvement of the Kazakh white-headed breed, indispensable for breeding in extreme natural and climatic conditions of dry steppes and deserts, should be based on knowledge of economically useful, biological, breeding qualities of animals and scientifically based methods for their improvement
