On September 12, 2025, an important meeting was held under the chairmanship of A. Pardebekuly, Head of the Territorial Inspection of the Veterinary Control and Supervision Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the city of Shymkent. At this meeting, the progress of veterinary activities carried out in the period from January to August 2025 was reviewed.

The meeting was attended by the head of the Veterinary Department of the Shymkent Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine E. Adenov, the chief specialist of the department N. Ospanova, the deputy director of the Veterinary Service MCC E. Akhmetov, senior veterinarian B. Kurakbay, as well as the heads of veterinary posts in the city.

During the meeting, the "Plan for the Prevention and Diagnosis of Highly Dangerous Animal Diseases and Enzootic Measures" was discussed. This plan is one of the most important documents in the agricultural sector of the country. Its main goal is to prevent the spread of diseases among animals, ensure the safety of agricultural products, and prevent potential risks to public health.

In his speech, the head of the inspection, A. Pardebekuly, noted that since the beginning of the year, planned activities have been systematically carried out in the city. He especially emphasized the significant results achieved in the prevention of highly dangerous animal diseases.

One of the main topics of the meeting was the proper use of vaccines allocated from the republican property. According to veterinary service specialists, the volume of vaccines delivered to the city since the beginning of the year has been fully utilized, covering the planned livestock population.

Among them, special attention was paid to the vaccine "AusylVac-Al". This is an inactivated culture mono- and polyvalent sorbed vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease in ruminants. According to the participants, this vaccine demonstrates high efficiency in protecting animals from a dangerous disease. Its correct and timely use is an important step in the sustainable development of livestock farming.

During the meeting, issues of controlling livestock movement within the republic and the city were also discussed. It is known that there is a high risk of spreading various diseases when livestock is transported from one region to another. Therefore, the work in this area is strictly controlled by the veterinary inspection.

Representatives of the inspection said that they are strengthening measures to prevent illegal livestock transportation. Each head of livestock is required to be accompanied by veterinary documents, and compliance with this requirement is checked by local veterinary posts.

During the meeting, participants presented their proposals. Representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine noted the need for systematic explanatory work with livestock owners in rural areas, as some citizens do not fully understand the importance of preventive measures.

Specialists of the Veterinary Service MCC raised the issue of staff training. In their opinion, regular seminars and trainings for veterinarians will help improve professional skills.

The station managers, on the other hand, noted the lack of modern equipment in rural areas and raised the issue of strengthening the material and technical base.

Summing up the meeting, A. Pardebekuly positively assessed the work done and set specific tasks for the coming period. First of all, he instructed to fully and timely implement vaccination measures, strictly control livestock movements, and strengthen explanatory work with the population.

In addition, the head of the inspection noted the high professional responsibility of veterinary workers:
"Only when every specialist faithfully fulfills their duties can we prevent animal diseases and achieve safe and sustainable development of agriculture," he said.

This meeting is of great importance not only for the city of Shymkent, but also for the veterinary security of the country as a whole. Because the spread of animal diseases can not only cause significant damage to agriculture, but also pose a threat to human health. Therefore, preventive and diagnostic measures should always be a priority.

In general, the work carried out in the first eight months of 2025 yielded positive results. In the coming period, joint work of veterinary services at all levels will continue to ensure the full implementation of planned activities.
