Улаанбаатар /МОНЦАМЭ/. According to the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry, 25
million heads of dams are expected to deliver offspring nationwide. Due to the
possible difficulties in the spring, the MFALI has signed an agreement with more than 50 companies to import 120,000
tons of fodder to prevent the loss of young animals.
As of last month, the number of livestock losses has reached 440
thousand heads, of which Bayankhongor aimag had the highest losses or 220
thousand heads, followed by Arkhangai, Gobi-Altai, Uvurkhangai, Tuv and Dundgobi
aimags. The livestock losses in the aimags account for 63.1 percent of the total
loss.
Excessive grazing of livestock in transhumant areas of
Khentii, Bulgan, Gobisumber, and Dornogobi aimags is likely to lead to the
fodder shortage during the calving period and aggravate harsh spring condition.
