Mobile Animal Husbandry<br />
The most important livelihood base of Buyant sum’s population is mobile animal husbandry.<br />
In 2004, 476 households were registered as herders and 634 households owned at least a small<br />
amount of livestock. Fig. 72 shows the development of livestock numbers in Buyant sum. It<br />
shows a decrease at the end of the 1990s caused by zud and drought but herds have recovered<br />
in recent years due to more favourable climatic conditions and rising numbers of goats.<br />
