How to read this table
Row differences allow for comparing the numbers of various livestock species with each other and within a single group. For example, the total cattle population can be compared to the number of cows, or the share of pigs in total livestock can be estimated. As data is presented in thousands of head, calculations are based on large groups, facilitating the analysis of the national livestock structure over a ten-year period
What is visible in these numbers
Highest values: including sheep (9,865), Sheep and goats (8,717), Cattle (2,920). Gap between highest and lowest — by 21.1 times
Observations annual; total periods 6. 150 of 150 possible values filled (100%) — gaps are virtually absent

Period and application
The statistics cover the period from 2015 to 2024 and include data on all major farm categories. Information is updated annually as final annual reports are compiled. This data is useful for agro-industrial complex specialists, economists, and those studying the state of livestock farming and food security in Russia's regions
