Dagestan is the main sheep-breeding region of Russia. The mutton is successfully exported to many regions of the country and abroad. This is the regional brand. However, at present there are many problems in the industry, the main of which is a catastrophic shortage of pastures and desertification of lands in the northern Dagestan.

Many experts consider the development of cattle fattening industry to be the solution to the problem. The sheep is a gluttonous animal. According to the standards, each one has a hectare of pasture for grazing. Considering that the number of sheep in the republic in different periods reaches up to 5 million heads, this is a catastrophic situation.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of Dagestan plans to provide support to farmers who decide to develop this industry. Of course, traditional grazing livestock will always be popular in Dagestan. But sheep fattening is also gaining momentum, given the realities of recent years. One does not contradict the other and will develop in parallel.
