STORYLINE:
A total of 20.2 million dams (female livestock animals) in Mongolia have given birth so far, the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry reported on Friday.
The dams that have given birth account for 72.4 percent of all dams nationwide which were counted by the end of 2021, the ministry said in a statement.
The survival rate of newborn animals is at 99.1 percent, according to the ministry.
Mongolia is one of the world's last surviving nomadic countries. The promotion of animal husbandry is seen as the most viable solution to diversify the landlocked country's mining-dependent economy.
The number of livestock animals in Mongolia reached 67.3 million at the end of 2021, up by 0.4 percent from the previous year, according to the country's National Statistics Office.
