Abstract

The study is dedicated to the characteristic of development of traditional Karakalpak cattle breeding from the end of the XIX century up to present days. The influence of natural climatic conditions on the formation of the herd structure is noted. With regards to significancy, the first place was occupied by cattle, which, in addition to ensuring food security, was used in the economy as a draft force. The second place in importance in the Karakalpak economy belonged to sheep. The Karakalpaks bred camels and horses in small numbers. In the first third of the XX century, significant transformations took place in the traditional way of life of the people as a result of political and socio-economic reasons, which affected the cattle breeding of the Karakalpaks. During the XX century, the priorities in the composition of the herd did not change. In modern Karakalpakstan, the experience of traditional cattle breeding remains in demand.
