Akmola region is famous for its vast hunting grounds, the total area of ​​which is 12 million 343 thousand hectares. 161 hunting farms operate on the territory of 12 million 114 thousand hectares. Today, of which 10 million. 278 thousand hectares are actively operated by 139 farms under the control of 82 legal entities and individuals of various forms of ownership.In winter, wild animals experience particular difficulties due to the lack of natural food. To support the animal population, hunting farms collect the necessary food and prepare for the winter in advance. This is an important and responsible work that requires careful planning and effort.With the onset of cold weather, feeding work has begun to provide animals with the necessary nutrients. For this purpose, specially equipped feeding areas are provided with:- salt necessary for strengthening the health of animals;- grain and grass rich in energy and nutrients;- willow leaves from tree branches, which serve as an additional source of feed.Such measures help to maintain a stable wildlife population, especially in conditions of harsh winters and limited natural food. It should be noted that feeding wildlife is not only a matter of caring for nature, but also the task of every hunting farm aimed at maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance. Thanks to such efforts, the hunting grounds of the Akmola region retain their richness and allow you to admire the diversity of the wildlife of the region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola/press/news/details/928163
