Abstract
In the conditions of the increase in the cost of feed and energy resources, the development of sheep and goat breeding is becoming more and more relevant in Ukraine to ensure the population's food needs and increase the export potential of animal husbandry in general. The article describes the results of a statistical data study for 2010-2021 regarding the state and main trends in sheep and goat breeding development in the Carpathian Economic Region of Ukraine. An analysis of the dynamics of sheep and goat breeding in farms of all categories in terms of live weight by regions of the region, the number of sold livestock for slaughter, sales volumes, the number of sheep in farms of all categories, the volume of lamb and goat meat production, as well as the volume of wool production was carried out. The specific weight of each oblast of the region in the number of livestock and the volume of sheep and goat breeding was determined. Based on the study of statistical data, the amount of sheep and goat breeding per person in the regions of the Carpathian region of Ukraine, as well as the productivity of animal breeding, was determined. It was established that the population of sheep and goats in Ukraine and the regions of the Carpathian region increased by 11.5% during the studied period. The highest growth dynamics were observed in Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. Accordingly, the volume of breeding and sales of sheep and goats increased. However, wool production in the Carpathian region decreased by 26% during the studied period. The largest share of the population, the amount of sheep and goats that grew and sold in the region, is concentrated in the farms of the Transcarpathian region - about 66-70%. A relatively high level of the ratio of the volume of cultivation to the number of sheep and goats is observed in the farms of the Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. According to the study's results, the highest level of marketability was determined in the farms of the Transcarpathian region. Based on the analysis of the indicators of the development of sheep and goat breeding in the regions of the Carpathian region of Ukraine, a set of organizational and economic measures regarding the growth of livestock and the volume of sheep and goat breeding in the farms of the region is proposed and substantiated.
