How to read this table
Animal species serve as the criterion for row division in this table, so both aggregate cattle figures and breakdowns for cows or pigs are available for comparison. Values are provided in a uniform unit of measurement, facilitating the tracking of changes within each category over the thirty-five-year interval. Selecting a specific row helps show how the livestock structure in the professional agricultural production sector has transformed throughout the observation period
What is visible in these numbers
Highest values: Poultry (479,434), Cattle (47,177), Sheep and goats (42,101). The gap between highest and lowest is 1,082 times. The top three account for 85.6% of the total across all items — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, with 36 observation periods in the dataset. There are 396 values in the table out of 396 possible, which is 100% — almost no empty cells remain

Period and application
Annual updates of Rosstat data allow for current statistics as of the end of each reporting period. The information will be useful to agricultural specialists, economists, and researchers studying livestock dynamics in Russia. The series covers the period from 1990 to 2025, providing the opportunity to analyze long-term changes in the population of farm animals in specialized organizations
How it is calculated
Noted in the source itself: Data exclude statistical information for the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR), Zaporozhye and Kherson regions
