On July 10, 2025, a special event dedicated to the Day of Veterinary Workers was held in Shymkent. This was not only a festive gathering, but also a large-scale campaign of a practical and informational nature. The main goal of this day, organized in accordance with the instructions of the Vice Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, is to promote the functioning of the veterinary sector in accordance with modern requirements and strengthen the public's attitude towards the industry.

The event was attended by specialists from the territorial inspection of Shymkent, employees of the city's Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, as well as the director and leading specialists of the Veterinary Service MCC. They visited farms in the suburbs and conducted detailed explanatory work on the procedures for keeping, registering, and pre-vaccinating farm animals.

During the meetings, livestock owners were extensively informed about the importance of the animal identification system. In particular, the need for accurate registration and digitalization of data, its positive impact on product quality control and livestock movement tracking were highlighted. This system is becoming a key tool in increasing the export potential of agricultural products.

During the event, there was also a wide discussion about compliance with veterinary and sanitary safety requirements. Specialists explained to the population measures to prevent infectious diseases, the role of vaccination, the procedure for isolating and disinfecting livestock. In addition, the public was informed that the availability of veterinary services in any settlement is a guarantee of national food security.

On this day, the issues of planning the construction of new veterinary stations in Shymkent and the modernization of existing infrastructure were also discussed. Currently, the material and technical base in this area requires significant modernization. The lack of veterinary clinics and mobile diagnostic complexes can be an obstacle to the development of livestock farming. Therefore, representatives of the akimat noted that the necessary support will be provided by local authorities.

Such explanatory and informational events have been undertaken in this area before, but in 2025 they are being implemented with renewed vigor. For example, while in 2023 the professional holiday of veterinary services was limited to traditional awards and small gatherings, this year's event included an analysis of specific problems and close contact with rural areas.

In comparison, the 2022 veterinary event in Shymkent was limited to a conference, where mainly scientific topics were raised. This year's event was organized in a practical manner and focused on working with real farms. This change is a sign that the state veterinary policy is focused on concrete results.

During the holiday, experienced veterinarians shared their knowledge and skills and held master classes for young professionals. This is a way to maintain continuity within the industry and draw attention to the problem of a shortage of specialists.

Overall, the event, which took place on July 10, was aimed at increasing the role and responsibility of the veterinary sector to society. Animal health is not just a problem for one household, it is part of the entire country's economy and public health system.

In conclusion, the 2025 Veterinary Day in Shymkent was a successful step towards developing the internal potential of the industry, establishing an open dialogue with society, and implementing state policy. Such events can not only raise the status of veterinary specialists, but also serve as a basis for the sustainable development of agriculture.
