On July 10, 2025, an important event dedicated to the Day of Veterinary Workers was held in Shymkent. This time, the holiday was not limited to traditional congratulations, but was supplemented with specific practical work. As part of this event, organized in accordance with the instructions of the Vice Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, veterinary specialists specially visited farms in the suburbs of the city and conducted extensive explanatory work on animal health, disease prevention, identification systems, and compliance with veterinary and sanitary requirements.

The event was attended by specialists from the territorial inspection of Shymkent, representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, as well as the director and leading specialists of the State Municipal Enterprise "Veterinary Service". Using their experience and knowledge, these specialists directly intervened in the daily work of farms and conducted an open dialogue with livestock owners.

The main goal of the meetings is to explain the importance of proper registration of farm animals and tracking their movements. Experts noted that registration through an animal identification system is not only a state requirement, but also a tool that directly affects the preservation of animal health and improving product quality. In addition, this system plays an important role in the production of quality products not only domestically, but also for the international market.

The issue of preventing infectious diseases of animals was also not ignored. In particular, detailed information was provided on measures to prevent dangerous infections such as foot-and-mouth disease, rubella, and anthrax, as well as vaccination procedures, quarantine, and disinfection. These measures are aimed at strengthening veterinary safety.

In addition, the experts also touched upon the issue of veterinary infrastructure. It was noted that currently one of the main tasks is to strengthen the material and technical base of veterinary stations in cities and villages, provide them with mobile laboratories, and ensure that there is a sufficient supply of necessary medicines and equipment. It was also noted that the local akimat is providing support in these areas.

The peculiarity of this event is its focus on working directly with a specific target audience. In previous years, Veterinary Day was often limited to official gatherings and awards. For example, in 2022 and 2023, this holiday was held in Shymkent with conferences, round tables and events to honor veteran veterinarians. However, this time the professional holiday was used as a platform to address the current issues of the industry.

Events of this format help to strengthen the relationship between society and veterinary services, as well as to raise the status of specialists. Young specialists also actively participated in this event and received training from experienced colleagues. In some districts, veteran veterinarians organized master classes for the younger generation. This, in turn, was an important step towards maintaining continuity in the field and training qualified specialists.

As a result of the festive day, specialists who have shown excellent results in the veterinary field of Shymkent were awarded and their honest work was noted. In addition, a number of new proposals were made, such as further development of livestock farming in the city, strengthening veterinary control, continuing the digitalization process, and increasing the responsibility of livestock owners.

In conclusion, the Veterinary Workers' Day, which took place on July 10, 2025 in Shymkent, was an event of great importance for the industry. It was not just a celebration of a professional holiday, but a concrete step towards drawing attention to the specific problems of the entire veterinary system and its development. Such meaningful events will undoubtedly continue in the future and give a new impetus to the development of the agricultural and veterinary sectors of our country.
