General Manager of the agency, Alhaji Sani Aminu, said in Kaduna that the animals were arrested within the last 12 months.
Aminu said the animals comprising dogs, sheep, goats and pigs were arrested for disturbing traffic flow and causing accidents within the city.
He, however, said that about 400 of the animals were claimed by their owners after paying penalties to the agency.
Aminu said the recent increase in public complaints about the menace caused by such animals necessitated the arrest.
"We receive more than 20 complaints in a day on the menace of the animals," he said.
The general manager said that the animals also contributed to making the streets dirty, thereby causing environmental pollution, which threatened the health of the residents.
