At the initiative of the Ministry of Health, a program to assess the knowledge and skills of specialists of multidisciplinary teams of obstetric organizations covering 20 regions of the country was launched on the basis of the National Independent Examination Center (NIEC). The main goal of testing and training is to develop the basic skills and improve the professional competence of specialists in the field of medical care for mothers and newborns. A group of trainers consisting of highly qualified experts and representatives of specialized medical communities has been created within the framework of the program. This approach, based on modern methods and international standards, will contribute to increasing the level of patient safety and introducing best practices in perinatal medicine. For the first time in the last 10 years, in 2024, the highest indicators were achieved in the field of maternal and child health care, reducing infant mortality by 6.7% and maternal mortality by 11.4%. Thanks to the professional and coordinated work of all specialists of the obstetric service, 367 thousand safe deliveries were carried out last year. However, despite the achievements, work continues to improve the quality of medical care in the field of maternal and child health through advanced training of specialists of the service.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/dsm/press/news/details/924485

Independence LLP in Zhetysu region has purchased two new robots.In the framework of the program for replicating the experience of the North Kazakhstan region, the STF continues to expand and modernize. In 2024, 240 Danish Red cows and two modern DeLaval robots were purchased from Denmark.One of the main advantages of the milking robot is its ability to accurately measure important parameters such as milking speed, monitoring the movement of cows, milking intervals and incomplete milking. It also analyzes a combination of various parameters that helps to identify mastitis cases and determine the time of insemination.There is also a feed pusher robot on the farm, which ensures constant availability of feed for animals. The pusher works according to a programmed route and is charged from a special device.In total, there are 1,100 cows on the farm, of which 600 are dairy cows.

During his working visit to Georgia, Kazakhstan's Vice Minister of Agriculture Amangali Berdalin held a meeting with Georgia's Vice Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture Apollon Kakabadze. The meeting focused on issues of bilateral cooperation in the agricultural sector.Amangali Berdalin noted that interaction between Kazakhstan and Georgia in the agricultural sector occupies a leading place in the relations of the two countries. The dynamics of trade in agricultural products is showing positive growth: in 11 months of 2024, Kazakhstan's trade turnover with Georgia amounted to $65.4 million, which is 11.1% more than in the same period in 2023. At the same time, exports from Kazakhstan increased by 28.2%.The Vice Minister noted the interest of Kazakhstani business in establishing exports of various goods to Georgia, including grain, flour, vegetable oils, meat and dairy products, honey and confectionery.During the meeting, forms of veterinary certificates for breeding, working and slaughter cattle were signed, which creates favorable conditions for expanding trade cooperation. In particular, the high cost of meat products in Georgia opens up new opportunities for exporting products of Kazakhstani agricultural producers.In addition, the Kazakh side proposed to intensify cooperation within the framework of a memorandum of understanding between the departments, which will allow improving interaction in the fields of animal husbandry, plant breeding, food and feed safety, veterinary medicine and agricultural product processing.Apollon Kakabadze supported all proposals and promised to provide comprehensive assistance in the implementation of joint initiatives.The issue of digitization of agriculture remains an important aspect for the Republic of Kazakhstan. The country is actively introducing information technologies to improve accounting, monitoring and traceability of products, and systems for identifying farm animals and veterinary and sanitary examination of meat are in operation. The plan is to integrate with the European Union countries in terms of monitoring the movement of livestock products. In this regard, the experience of Georgia in digitizing and automating processes in the agricultural sector, implemented jointly with FAO, is of particular interest.Amangali Berdalin also expressed gratitude to FAO for its assistance in purchasing veterinary laboratory equipment for the “National Reference Center for Veterinary Medicine” and special equipment for the “Republican Anti-Episotic Squad” within the framework of the “One Health” project in Kazakhstan.“This project is important for the country, as it is aimed at increasing capacity in the fight against antimicrobial resistance, preventing zoonotic diseases and developing epidemiological surveillance,” the Vice Minister said.The meeting with representatives of the National Food Agency discussed issues of strengthening international cooperation in the field of veterinary medicine.As part of the work program, he visited the Republican Veterinary Laboratory of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia, the regional veterinary office of the National Food Agency, and a slaughterhouse in Shida Kartli.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/924159

At the end of 2024, 430.0 thousand tons of beef meat in slaughter weight were produced, which is 7.5% more than in 2023. During this period, processed products amounted to 270 thousand tons of meat.The volume of beef produced in the country fully satisfies the needs of the population.Along with the growth in beef production, the total number of beef cattle is also growing. For example, at the end of 2024, the number of beef cattle amounted to 7.8 million heads, which is 18.5% more than in 2023. It should be noted that 55% of livestock belongs to agricultural structures, while 5 years ago this figure was only 45%.The necessary conditions are being created for the development of the industry.For the further development of beef cattle breeding, significant state support is provided in the form of subsidies, the annual volume of which is approximately 40.0 billion tenge. It is planned to provide soft loans at an annual interest rate of 2.5% for projects in the field of meat production.In general, the ongoing work is aimed at reducing the cost of meat production, which will be achieved by introducing technologies while minimizing capital costs.In this regard, starting from 2024, projects are being implemented to introduce Australian experience in meat production, which involves the rational and rotational use of pasture lands, ensuring the proximity of feed to animal housing, opening compound feed enterprises, using special compound feed during fattening, as well as the modernization and creation of new processing enterprises.Thus, meat clusters with a full cycle of product production, from feed preparation to sale of finished products, are being created. The Ministry of Agriculture provides full support for each project.In particular, in the next 2 years, according to Australian experience, it is planned to build 6 feedlots for 98 thousand cattle, a large feedlot for 50 thousand cattle, and the first specialized cattle exchange.As for the increase in prices, they depend on many factors. Among them is the increasing demand for meat from Kazakhstani producers in neighboring countries.For example, according to the results of 2024, beef exports increased by 8.0 thousand tons and reached 20.0 thousand tons. The presence of stable markets for the sale of manufactured products and favorable price conditions is a key factor in the further development of the industry.The use of quota mechanisms also has a regulatory effect on the domestic market.Let us recall that from October 26, 2024, quantitative restrictions in the form of quotas will be applied to the export of live cattle (bulls). The quantitative limit for the export of bulls is 85,000 heads. To date, 70,379 quotas or 82.7% (more than 10 thousand tons in meat terms) have been used. The export of female cattle is completely prohibited.In addition, a working group has been established and is currently working on discussing and resolving topical issues of the development of beef cattle breeding by order of the Minister of Agriculture No. 3 dated January 9, 2019.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/924464
