Costs were calculated taking into account individual item structure, revenues sales production. analysis included three-year period i.e. years 2017, 2018 2019. object investigations twelve thirteen per year, respectively. Economic indicators Eur feeding day (costs) and/or ewe year (costs, sales, subsidies, profit/loss). Milk did not cover up spent on accounting for subsidy improved only a lower extent. Sheep farming thus produced with loss. Across years, milk almost unchanged, whereas notably increased. No ability could become an obstacle further survival livestock sector. increase both yield therefore needed.
