8 Mongolian provinces likely to experience extreme winter www.xinhuanet.com
At least eight Mongolian provinces are likely to experience the extreme wintry weather "dzud" this winter, local media reported on Sunday, citing official sources.
"Out of all the 21 Mongolian provinces, at least eight provinces, namely Bayan-Ulgii, Uvs, Zavkhan, Khovd and Govi-Altai in the west, Bayankongor in the south-west, as well as Arkhangai and Uvurkhangai in the center are likely to experience dzud or near-dzud conditions this winter," the country's Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry said in a statement.
A dzud is a brutal weather phenomenon in which a dry summer followed by a frigid winter kills vast numbers of livestock, either by starvation or freezing temperatures.
According to the ministry, the government has stored 15,500 tons of hay and 4,800 tons of fodder for livestock to help them overcome the possible harsh winter.
The livestock sector is a central pillar of the Mongolian economy, while the country's livestock population totaled 67.3 million by the end of 2021.
In 2016, a dzud killed more than 1 million livestock in Mongolia, a nation where pastoral herding is still common.
