Abstract

The article analyzes the dynamics of a quantitative indicator in the development of traditional animal husbandry in 15 arctic and northern rayons of Yakutia in the first post-Soviet period - the number  in herd horse breeding and cattle breeding in farms of all categories in the 1990s. Statistical analysis identifies three groups of areas of natural and economic specialization: northwestern coastal, north-eastern, indigiro-kolyma. The dynamics of the number of horses and cattle in each rayon has retained its own characteristics. But in all 15 rayons, the number of horses decreased by 31.5%, cattle – by 34.4%. A significant reduction in the number  in animal husbandry made the situation with traditional economy in Arctic Yakutia in the 1990s very difficult. The management measures taken did not help to stop the process of a significant decrease in the first quantitative indicator – the number of livestock.
