How to read this table
The rows are categorized by animal type, allowing for comparison of farmer shares across different livestock groups. Comparing these indicators reveals varying distribution dynamics between cattle and pigs. All values are expressed in percentages, facilitating comparison to assess the share of specific animal types within the country's total production volume
What is visible in these numbers
Highest values: sheep / - (43.8), Sheep and goats / - (41.5), Horses / - (30.2). Gap between highest and lowest — by 23.4 times. The top three account for 57.6% of the total across all positions — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual; total periods 35. 385 of 385 possible values filled (100%), i.e., the table is almost entirely complete

Period and application
Data are updated annually and cover a multi-year period starting from 1991, enabling the tracking of agricultural sector transformations over several decades. Livestock population statistics for farm holdings are useful for agricultural specialists, economists, and analysts studying rural private enterprise development and assessing the contribution of peasant and farm holdings to national food security
