This paper focuses on the number of domestic livestock kept by nomads in Mongolia. The economic conditions of nomads in Mongolia changed during the transition of a centrally planned economy to a market economy, and as a result of harsh climatic conditions (referred to as Dzud in Mongolian). We have divided the nomads into two categories : Before and after the Dzud. First : From 1991 to 1999, the number of domestic livestock had been increasing along with the increase of family members. During this period, nomads increased the number of their sheep and goats. Second : After the Dzud, it appears that respective farmers had between 51 and 100 livestock and about 65% of the families had less than 100 livestock. A comparison of data in 1999 and 2003, illustrated that in most categories, the nomads reduced in number where the reduction ratio depended on conditions, such as resistive livestock, weak livestock and labor conditions in respective families.

In this paper, we analyzed the development of feed production and the distribution system using Company A, the largest feed production company in Mongolia, as a case study, and clarified the following points. First, an increase in the livestock population due to intensive animal husbandry has led to the enlargement of the demand for animal feed in recent years. Next, although Company A has been trying to produce feed that is appropriate for certain breeds and growth stages, as it was originally founded as a flour miller, it has not been able to produce feed that is appropriate for all types of livestock. However, it is clear that livestock farms cannot depend on imported animal feed, either.

This study aimed to evaluate the new system of agricultural advisory services of the Japanese Agricultural Co-operatives (JA), especially Large-scale JA in Hokkaido. Under current economics circumstances, some JAs have decided to achieve economic merit by large-scale merging. However, seeking this merit of scale can often go in the opposite direction in building good relationships with members. We explored JA KITAMIRAI which employs a new system of agricultural advisory services to achieve both the merit of scale and fostering good relations with its members. The new system is characterized by a unique organization which encourages staff of the JA to visit memberユs farm to give advices directly. We found that the new system of advisory services have the possibility to achieve economic merit of scale and foster a good relation with members as long as JA establishes a new system of business management and education of the staff of JA.
