In order to identify the main directions of student entrepreneurial projects in the field of animal husbandry and treatment, an analysis of student startups supported by the Foundation for the Promotion of Innovation in 2024 was conducted, and its results are presented. In 2024, the Innovation Promotion Fund supported 111 (4.8%) startups in the field of animal husbandry and treatment, represented by 41 universities. The majority of startups are implemented in the field of Biotechnology (83.8%). Thematically, all the analyzed startups represent three main groups: Veterinary Medicine and Animal Welfare (35.1%), Feed and Feed Additives (34.2%), and Animal Husbandry and Breeding Technologies (30.6%). In most universities (56.1%), the foundation has supported one startup project in the field of animal husbandry (treatment). a total of 32 projects (28.8%) were supported by three universities (Novosibirsk State Agrarian University, Kazan State Pedagogical University, and the State Agrarian University of the Northern Urals). In 37.0% of startup projects, the name of the animal species was not indicated. Among the names of startup projects indicating the type of animal, farm animals dominate (72.9%), companion animals are mentioned in 22.9% of the names.
