Based on this, the present study has been carried out with a descriptive-analytical method and with the practical purpose of examining and identifying livestock risk management in rural areas of Golpayegan county. Data collection using official and written data was first done in the form of a library and then based on research and field studies with interviews.

The results show that first the risk of fodder and livestock inputs in the studied villages is more important and more frequent, and then the risk of natural factors (severe cold, very hot weather and drought) and theft with equal share and frequency are more important. . And livestock activists first plant low-water forage and store inputs to reduce existing risks; Also, to reduce the risk of natural causes and theft, they build roofed shelters suitable for the cold season and spray livestock in the hot season and install cameras and alarms in their farms.
