# 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.
