Which farm animals are important to Finnish agriculture?

In Finland, animal husbandry has traditionally centered on the raising of dairy cattle, though the number of milk cows has declined due to efforts to manage overproduction. Other livestock important to Finnish agriculture include:1

• Pigs and Poultry: The keeping of these animals remains an important component of the agricultural sector.1
• Reindeer: Reindeer herding is a significant practice, particularly in the northern regions, where they are raised for meat, hides, and milk. While wild reindeer have nearly disappeared, domesticated herds are maintained, often by the Sami people.1234
• Fur-bearing animals: Finland is a major global producer of farm-raised foxes and mink, with the vast majority of these furs destined for export.1
• Horses: The population of horses stabilized following a decline in the late 1970s, with a notable increase in the breeding of Thoroughbreds.1

While sheep farming and beekeeping are also practiced, they are considered to be of minor economic significance to the country.1
