Abstract

In the country's official statistics, three categories are distinguished: 1) agricultural enterprises; 2) peasant farms; 3) households of the population. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that over 30 years of reforms, livestock farming has not received proper development in any organizational and legal form of management. Negative trends persist and, moreover, have taken on a landslide character. Animal genetic resources remain under threat.
