The Oryol region demonstrates noticeable changes in the sphere of animal husbandry, which is confirmed by the latest data provided by Orelstat. As of August 2024 , the region has seen a significant increase in the pig population, which has become an important indicator of agricultural development.

Increase in the number of pigs

As of the beginning of August 2024, there were more than 1.4 million pigs in Oryol agricultural organizations. This number is 34.3% higher than the same period last year. This growth can be explained by several factors, including the modernization of breeding technologies, improvement of the feed base and increased investment in pig farming.

Pigs remain an important part of the region's agricultural sector, and their productivity directly affects the economy of local farms. The increase in the pig population is also associated with the growing demand for pork in both the domestic and foreign markets.

By the beginning of August 2024, there were 32.1 thousand cows in the region, which is 5.4% less than in the same period last year. This decrease can be attributed to a number of factors, including changes in consumer preferences and economic conditions that affect dairy farming.

However, a positive trend is also observed in other sectors. The number of sheep increased by 3.9%, amounting to 2.5 thousand heads, and the poultry population increased by 4.9%, exceeding 2 million.

The increase in the number of pigs and the growth of meat production indicate that the agricultural sector of the region is actively developing and adapting to modern conditions. it is important to note that further development of this sphere requires a comprehensive approach, including investment in technology, training of specialists and development of infrastructure, which will ultimately lead to strengthening the position of the Oryol region in the agricultural market.
