Of this around 45.71 million (according to 1987 census) are in India. The final official figures of Govt. of India on 1992 livestock census are still awaited. Based on the figures available from 341
different states it is estimated that sheep population during 1992 has been about 49 S million. The country stands sixth in sheep population in the world. These sheep produce 141 million kg mutton, 35 S million kg of greasy wool and 39.78 million pieces of skin annually (FAO, 1993). Of the total wool produced in the country roughtly 10.49 per cent falls in the range of above 56 S , 22.31 per cent between 44 S and 56 S 34.0 per cent between 36 S and 43 S and the rest 33.18 per cent is below 36 S in quality. The wools of 54 S and above quality are suitable for worsted sector and hosiery, of 36 S to 53 S quality for good quality carpets and those below 36 S only for coarse quality carpets, druggets, felts and rugs. About 14 million kg of fine wool is imported for the worsted sector for preparing woollen cloth for suitings, hosiery and other apparel, as only 4.0 million kg of indigenous wool is combs worthy. The country requires 15 million kg of 64 S quality wool for the manufacture of fine apparels, 10 million kg of 56 S quality for medium quality for medium quality apparels and 20 million kg of 36 S to 48 S quality for carpet manufacture. The availability is thus short by 15 million kg of fine wool and about 7.2 million kg of medium quality apparel wool. The woollen industry provides employment to about 3 million people and earns more than 2,000 million of foreign exchange by way fo exports. Statewise sheep population from 1972 to 1992 quinquinally is presented in Table 3.3. In Rajasthan, the largest sheep rearing state, the sheep population increased by about 34.61 per cent as against 18.00 per cent in the country during 1977-92. There are 1086 million sheep in the world, out of which, 14 and 13 per cent are found in Australia and USSR, respectively. Twenty six per cent sheep (268 million) of the world are found in Asia. They are found in larger numbers in China, Turkey, India and Iran. Seventy per cent of the total sheep population of Asia is found in these countries. Their number increased by 13 per cent between 1955 and 1975 Table 3.3. Sheep population increased by 3 percent in Europe during this period. Largest number of sheep in Europe are found in Bulgaria, France, Romania and Spain. Of the total 113 million sheep found in South America, 23 and 32 percent alone are found in Brazil and Argentina, respectively. Their number decreased by 4 per cent. During 1955 and 1975 the sheep number decresed by 44 per cent in North and Central America whereas it increased by 38 percent in USSR during the same period. There were 155 million sheep in Africa according to 1975 census. The sheep population registered an increase of 35 percent between 1955 and 1975. Fifty per cent of the total sheep population of this continent is found in South Africa, Ethiopia, Morrocco and Sudan alone. Australia is the biggest wool producing and exporting country of the world. About half of the world merino wool is produced here. Australia produces about one third of the world wool Table 3.3.
