According to the interim report on the ongoing disinfection work in Karatau district, an area of 865,900 square meters is currently being treated. This area includes barns and adjacent buffer zones. During the work, 33,675 heads of cattle and horses, as well as 28,750 heads of small livestock, were disinfected by spraying and sterilizing. All measures are being carried out in accordance with a pre-approved plan and are monitored by daily reporting.

Experts say that disinfection is especially important in the autumn period. Ticks and other insects that have multiplied during the summer months are still active in the fall, so carrying out prophylaxis at this time significantly reduces the risk of disease outbreaks in the following spring and summer. The drugs used for disinfection have undergone special laboratory tests and are harmless to animals and humans.

Qualified disinfectors, veterinarians, and representatives of public utilities are involved in these works in the Karatau district. Each barn undergoes mechanical cleaning - garbage and manure are removed, and only then chemical treatment is carried out. This method increases the efficiency of treatment several times.

Such large-scale disinfection work is carried out annually in the Karatau district. In the autumn of 2023, about 800 thousand square meters of territory were treated, and more than 60 thousand livestock were treated. That year, tick bites in the district decreased by 15%. In 2024, this figure decreased even more, significantly reducing the risk of disease spread. The main reason for these achievements is the timely disinfection and active participation of the population.

The scope of work in 2025 is wider than in previous years. Firstly, the area of disinfection has increased, and secondly, the number of livestock to be processed has increased. Thirdly, this year, information and explanatory work has been intensified - memos on safety rules and the importance of prevention are being distributed to residents, and meetings are being held in rural districts.

Impact on the agro-industrial complex
Autumn disinfection not only ensures sanitary safety, but also has a positive impact on the development of the agro-industrial complex of the region. The reduction of parasites in livestock farming improves animal health and increases productivity. Improved meat and milk quality strengthens competitiveness in the domestic market and opens the way to increasing export potential.

In addition, preventing parasitic diseases reduces livestock mortality and veterinary costs, which directly affects the financial stability of farmers.

Disinfection also has a positive impact on the stability of the ecosystem. The reduction of parasites and insects helps maintain the natural balance, and modern chemicals used for treatment do not harm beneficial insects.

From a social point of view, such measures increase the responsibility of residents for their own health and the environment. Keeping livestock clean and caring for livestock in a timely manner is part of the formation of a sanitary culture in rural areas.

The autumn disinfection work being carried out in the Karatau district is a planned and large-scale event. This is a comprehensive work aimed not only at reducing the number of ticks and parasites, but also at increasing livestock productivity, ensuring the safety of the population, and improving the ecological situation.

As the experience of previous years has shown, timely and high-quality disinfection gives real results. It is expected that after the autumn campaign in 2025, the sanitary condition and agricultural indicators of the district will improve even more.
