Ukraine has seen a 15% loss in livestock due to the conflict, although it doesn't pose a significant risk to the country's food security, according to officials. The number of farms responding to inquiries about the impact of the conflict is 43.8%, with the rest unresponsive. The war has negatively affected the export of live animals and is expected to decrease the number of cattle by 8-10% by year-end.
