The topic “Genetic Characteristics of Livestock Terminology in the Uzbek Language” explores the origin, historical development, and structural features of livestock-related vocabulary within Uzbek. Livestock terminology, being an essential part of the nation’s agricultural and cultural heritage, reflects the evolution of traditional animal husbandry practices and the linguistic influences that have shaped Uzbek over centuries. The study focuses on the genetic classification of terms according to their etymological sources, including Turkic roots, Persian-Arabic borrowings, and modern international loanwords. Special attention is given to the processes of semantic change, word-formation, and dialectal variation that contribute to the richness and diversity of livestock terminology. The analysis also considers the role of cultural traditions, nomadic lifestyle, and socio-economic conditions in shaping the lexical system. By identifying the genetic layers of livestock terms, the research highlights the interplay between language history, cultural identity, and professional communication in the Uzbek context. The results are significant for etymological studies, lexicography, and the preservation of national linguistic heritage.
