Description
Summary:The author analyzes the population of horses in Yakutia during various periods and compares it with population of cattle. Cyclic pattern of rising and recession of a ratio of population of horses and cattle during various historical periods is determined. Comparison with deer population in the allocated periods is made. On the basis of the analysis carried-out an attempt to prove the expansion of space for herds of the Yakut breed of horses as the process of expansion of horse-breeding to the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is made. On this basis conclusions about the need to use the process of extension of horse-breeding to the South of the Republic (occurring without interventions from the outside, based on the internal pattern of development) in organization and management of animal husbandry are made.
