How to read this table

Row distinctions allow for comparing the population of different animal species within the same type of holdings. It is possible to see the share of cows in the total population relative to the total cattle count or the change in the pig population. Comparing series helps illustrate the livestock farming structure specifically within the farm sector, excluding large agro-holdings or private household plots

What is visible in these numbers

Highest values: Poultry / 10.4 (10,252), sheep and goats / - (9,141), sheep / - (8,889). The gap between the highest and lowest is 66.7 times. The top three account for 80.9% of the total across all positions — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top

Observations are annual, the dataset contains 35 periods. Of 385 possible values, 385 are filled (100%) — missing data is virtually absent

Period and application

Statistics are published annually by Rosstat and cover the period from 1991 to 2025. Data in thousands of head is useful for agro-industrial complex specialists, agricultural investors, and researchers of development dynamics in Russian peasant (farm) holdings

How it is calculated
