Mongolia reports deaths of 3.6 million farm animals
A total of 3.6 million heads of livestock died of natural disasters in Mongolia in 2023.
The figure is 19.2 times more than that of 2022.
The country’s National Statistics Office (NSO) made the disclosure on Tuesday.
Goats and sheep accounted for over 86 per cent of the death toll, which is attributed to extreme weather events, such as blizzards and intense dust storms.
There were 71.1 million livestock animals in the country by the end of 2022, according to the NSO.
Animal husbandry is one of the biggest industries of the landlocked Asian country.
