Abstract: In the Republic of Moldova, pork is the most important type of meat, accounting for about half of the total meat production, pig breeding being the sector with the largest share in animal husbandry. For consumers, consumption of pork is a tradition and accounts for about 50% of the annual meat consumption. After 1989, the total number of pigs, as they diminished permanently. Only in recent years has it started to feel a slight increase. During the period 2011-2016 the number decreased by 25.3 thousand heads. This indicator on the number of pigs registered in agricultural holdings weighing on livestock is slightly increasing by about 46 thousand heads. This trend is due to foreign investment in meat processing units across the country. The elaboration of this study used the monographic method, the grouping method, the situation analysis and forecasting method. As a result of the papers, it was determined that most of the cattle population is registered in territorial units, most of them being in the districts around Chisinau.
