TÜDKİYEB assesses rise in small ruminant livestock numbers

Sources diverge on the figure: a statement by TÜDKİYEB Chairman Turan Saldırıcıer was reported in one place as saying the count reached the 55-60 million head band, and in another as saying the 60 million mark was exceeded.

Where reports differ

State media and neutral press Both sources' news text report that Saldırıcıer found it noteworthy for the sector that the small ruminant livestock count had "again reached the 55-60 million head band."

Neutral press Ekonomi Manşet reports in its headline that the 60 million threshold in small ruminant livestock was exceeded; this wording does not match the 55-60 million head band statement in the body of the report.
