Abstract

The goal of this paper is to present the main features of sheep and goat production in Serbia and compare results with EU countries. The most important sources of data were statistical data (from statistical yearbooks and agricultural census) as well as FADN data for the European Union. It was determined that number of sheep in Serbia increases in recent years while number of goats declines. Sheep and goats are breed mostly in statistical region Serbia South. In the paper are discussed the most important features of these productions and it was determined that other counties in region share the same challenges. Situation in sheep and goat production in EU countries significantly varies concerning many factors such as stocking density, average number of livestock units, subsidies and value of milk production.
