Which animals make up Mongolia’s traditional “five animals” of livestock?

In Mongolia, the traditional "five animals" (tavan khoshuu mal) that form the foundation of the country's livestock industry are:

• Sheep1
• Goats1
• Cattle1
• Horses1
• Camels1

These animals have historically been central to the Mongolian economy and way of life, accounting for approximately four-fifths of the value of the nation's agricultural production. While goats have become the most numerous of these animals due to the high market value of cashmere, these five species remain the core of traditional herding practices.1
