| Summary: | Sheep and goats (collectively termed small
ruminants - or small stock) were the first
livestock to be domesticated, in central
Asia, over 10,000 years ago, and are both
currently widespread throughout the world.
In 2005, there were 1,001,351,000 breeding
sheep in the world (Table 1.1), with the larg-
est population found in China (147,000,000)
and 23,933,000 found in the UK (BWMB,
2006). According to FAO statistics, by 2007
the world breeding sheep population had
increased to 1,112,520,621 and there were
850,219,925 breeding goats in 2007 (www.
fao.org/corp/statistics/en), with the largest
populations recorded in China (183 million)
and India (120 million) (www.fao.org/ag).
Within Europe, Greece has the largest
number of goats (5 million), followed by
Spain (3 million) and France (1 million). In
the UK, there are approximately 98,000
goats (Harwood, 2008). |
