According to the interim report on disinfection work carried out in the Karatau district, the area currently being treated is 865,900 square meters. This area includes livestock buildings and adjacent buffer zones. During the work, 33,675 heads of cattle and horses, as well as 28,750 heads of small cattle, were sprayed and bathed. All activities are carried out in accordance with the approved plan and are under daily control.

Experts emphasize that disinfection in autumn is especially important. After the summer growth of tick populations and other harmful insects, their activity is still preserved, so preventive measures during this period significantly reduce the risk of disease outbreaks in the upcoming spring-summer season. For processing, preparations that have passed laboratory tests are used, which are safe for people and animals, but effectively affect parasites.

Experienced disinfectors, veterinarians and utility workers are involved in the work. Before chemical treatment, each object undergoes mechanical cleaning - waste and manure are removed, garbage is removed, and the adjacent territory is tidied up. This approach allows for a significant increase in the effectiveness of disinfection.

Experts emphasize that the autumn stage is of particular importance in terms of prevention. During this period, after the summer peak of activity, the number of ticks and other dangerous insects remains high. If treatment is carried out right now, this will significantly reduce the risk of their mass spread in the spring and summer of next year.

Before disinfection, mandatory mechanical cleaning of the premises is carried out: manure is removed, feed and garbage remains are removed, excess vegetation is trimmed. Only after this are chemicals used that have passed laboratory testing and are recognized as safe for humans and warm-blooded animals. This two-stage approach increases the efficiency of the work several times.

Experienced disinfectors, veterinarians and public utilities are involved in the activities. All actions are carried out in accordance with sanitary standards, and the results are recorded and transmitted daily to the responsible authorities.

Such large-scale campaigns are held regularly in the Karatau district. For example, in 2023, about 800 thousand square meters of territory and more than 60 thousand heads of animals were treated. This made it possible to reduce the number of tick bites by 15% compared to the previous year. In 2024, due to the expansion of the treatment area and the active participation of residents, this figure became even lower, and in a number of villages, cases of infection were not recorded at all.

In 2025, the scope of work became even wider. The area of disinfection was increased, the number of animals treated increased. In addition, much attention is paid to explanatory work with the population: leaflets are distributed, meetings are held in rural districts, the importance of sanitization and personal precautions is explained.

These activities have a direct impact on the development of the region's agro-industrial complex. In livestock farming, the fight against parasites increases productivity, improves the quality of meat and milk, reduces animal mortality and farmers' expenses on treatment. This strengthens the position of local farms' products on the market and increases their competitiveness, including for export.

In poultry farming, systematic disinfection reduces the risk of spreading diseases and parasites, which ensures stable egg and meat production.

For beekeeping, reducing the number of parasitic insects helps maintain the health of bee colonies, which is important for stable honey production and pollination of agricultural crops.

Even crop production benefits indirectly: control of pests and disease vectors reduces the threat of crop contamination, especially in suburban greenhouses and farm fields.

In addition to economic benefits, there is also an ecological aspect. The preparations used selectively affect harmful insects, minimally affecting beneficial ones. This helps maintain biological balance and does not disturb the ecosystem of the area.

The social effect is also significant. Residents' participation in preparation for disinfection - cleaning yards, cleaning outbuildings, monitoring the condition of animals - forms a more responsible attitude to sanitary standards and strengthens the culture of housekeeping.

To ensure full control over the process, a daily monitoring system has been created. Each stage of work is recorded, and if problems are identified, prompt measures are taken, including the allocation of additional resources.

Residents of the area are also reminded of personal precautions. It is recommended to regularly inspect animals, use repellents, wear closed clothing when going out to pastures or natural areas, and if bitten by a tick, immediately consult a doctor.

The experience of past years convincingly proves that only a comprehensive approach - a combination of mechanical cleaning, chemical treatment, explanatory work and participation of citizens themselves - gives a sustainable result. The autumn stage of 2025, according to experts' forecasts, will reduce the risk of diseases to a minimum and create favorable conditions for the stable development of agriculture in the Karatau region.

If the current campaign is fully implemented, the district will not only receive an improved sanitary situation, but also an additional incentive to grow agricultural production, strengthen food security and improve the quality of life of local residents.
