As of today, there are 5862 tons of hay and 4134 tons of fodder in total kept at the reserves of aimags and soums; thus, there will not be any interruption in the supply of the hay and fodder.

By the end of February, 39 soums of eight aimags in the country are suffering white ‘dzud’, while 47 soums of 12 aimags are likely to suffer the dzud.
