It is known that the success of breeding poultry depends on the level of selection and breeding work, and the use of feeding and growing technologies. The method of research work was to investigate the reproductive qualities of the gray breed group of geese of Obroshinsky selection and to analyze the productivity indicators in different periods of cultivation. The review presents the state of the poultry industry development at the beginning before military operations and during 2022 against the background of the war, as well as the prospects for innovative development of the waterfowl industry in the territory of Western Ukraine and the possibility Obroshinsky gray geese in crossings to obtain local young goslings. The intensity of growth, the development of the young, and its preservation during the rearing period were studied, and the reproductive qualities of Obroshin gray geese were analyzed. As a result of the selection and breeding work, the geese of the II research group (OS-5 ♂ x OS-3 ♀) outperformed their peers, respectively: in insufficiency by 3.4%, fertilization by 3.9%, and hatching of goslings by 4, 1%. The muscle mass of the males of the II experimental group was 1698, which was 8.8% more likely (p < 0.01) than the males of the I group. Females of the II group, whose muscle mass was 1560 g with probability (p < 0.001), prevailed over their peers (1390 g) by 8.6%.
