Tadzhik SR
The following shortcomings were noted in Leninabad Oblast: kolkhozes have
neglected the requirements for cattle increases and kolkhozes in the e ninabad,
Ura-Tyubinskiy, and Ashtskiy Rayons are not trying to fulfill the 3-year plans
for increasing cattle. Livestock is not being bred on a mass scale. Many kol-
khozes do not have their own feeding areas, but must drive their herds into
neighboring republics where there are no guaranteed pastures. Other kolkhozes
are neglecting livestock raising and are raising cotton instead.(9)
In 1950, kolkhozes of the Gorno-?Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast surpassed
the 1950 livestock--raising plan. Increases over 1949 production were as follows:
cattle 13 percent, horses 14, sheep and goats 19, donkeys 9, camels 11, and
fowls 32. The 1950 Plan was fulfille,1 by 31 kolkhozes for all types of live-
stock and by 84 kolkhozes for cattle, sheep, goats, and hogs. The best results
were obtained in the Vanchskiy and Murgabskiy rayons. Waterfowls are being
raised by 22 kolkhozes.(10)
