The region's Minister of Agriculture , Alan Kusraev, said that the livestock industry continues to increase production volumes and the number of animals.

Over the past year, North Ossetia increased cattle production by 5%, reaching 7.2 thousand tons in live weight. MILK production also increased by 3% and amounted to 39.65 thousand tons compared to the results of the previous year.

Sheep farming is also actively developing in the region, where 68 organizations operate.
