ULAN BATOR, June 2 (Xinhua) — By the end of May 2025, Mongolia’s breeding stock of cattle, or 17.7 million heads, counted at the beginning of the year, had produced offspring, local media reported on Monday, citing data from the country’s Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry.
“Thus, since the beginning of 2025, the number of young animals has increased by 17.5 million heads compared to the same period of the previous year,” the official statement says.
Livestock farming is one of the main levers of the Mongolian economy, as almost 40 percent of the country’s nomadic population depends on it.
However, due to the harsh and long winter, most of the Mongolian nomadic herders lose their livestock every year, which reduces their livelihood.
According to the National Statistical Committee of Mongolia, by the end of 2024, the total livestock population in the country decreased by 10.9 percent, amounting to 57.6 million heads. –0–
