Number of breeding horses and donkeys at the end of the year in Russia
In 2021 and 2022 the population of purebred horses and donkeys in the country was 15 824 and 5 970 heads respectively. The rows provide data for the whole Russian Federation, individual federal districts and specific subjects, e.g., Vladimir Oblast. The indicators reflect the state of the breeding stock at the end of the reporting periods and allow comparison of animal numbers across different parts of the country
Chart of the population of purebred horses and donkeys in Russia at the end of 2021 and 2022
Set in numbers
Rosstat data for 2021–2022. Rows: 146, periods: 2. Breakdown by items: Russian Federation — Horses; Russian Federation — Adult horse population; Russian Federation — Mares; Central Federal District — Horses; Central Federal District — Adult horse population and others
Russian Federation — Horses: the indicator fell from 15 824 to 12 713 in 2021–2022 — by 19.7%. Of the 20 largest rows, 11 increased, 9 decreased
All table numbers are series: 146
How to read this table
Differences between rows allow assessment of the scale of livestock farming at various levels: from the nationwide total to figures for specific districts and regions. By comparing federal‑district data with the national total, one can determine the share of particular territories in the overall population. The information is structured to facilitate comparison of animal numbers in different subjects over the two years
What is visible in these numbers
Five largest values: Russian Federation — Horses (15 824), Russian Federation — Adult horse population (8 906), Russian Federation — Mares (7 600), Central Federal District — Horses (905), Central Federal District — Adult horse population (429). The gap between the largest and smallest is 1 582 times. The top five account for 94.8% of the total across all items — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, the dataset contains 2 periods. Of 50 possible values, 50 (100%) are filled, meaning the table is almost completely populated

Period and application
The statistics are collected as part of agricultural monitoring and published by Rosstat. The data are current for the final 2021 and 2022 years. The information is useful for agri‑industry specialists, animal scientists and representatives of breeding farms for evaluating the sector’s resource base
How it is calculated
This year’s harvest and livestock determine next year’s procurement prices: processors need such rows before the supplier’s price list
