Abstract

This article provides information on livestock farming, which is one of the functional areas of the calendar customs and rituals of the Uzbek people living in the Fergana Valley. It studies the timing of taking livestock to the pasture and returning to wintering, shearing, customs and rituals related to protecting livestock from predators and the “evil eye”, preventing and treating diseases, and caring for lambs. Also, it reflects the views on livestock products and shepherd’s staff.
