Systematic efforts to strengthen veterinary safety and prevent the spread of dangerous diseases among farm animals continue in Shymkent. The latest round of these efforts took place in the village of Badam in the Yenbekshinsky District, where specialists from the Shymkent Veterinary Service carried out a range of preventative and diagnostic procedures in strict compliance with veterinary regulations.

The primary goal of these outreach activities is to prevent the spread of infectious and parasitic diseases among domestic and farm animals. Veterinarians administer necessary vaccinations, monitor the general health of livestock, identify potential disease outbreaks at early stages, and take measures to contain them.

Furthermore, such events are aimed at increasing the legal and health literacy of rural residents, as many animal diseases can be transmitted to humans and cause harm not only to health but also to the regional economy.

As part of the ongoing work, specialists examined cattle, sheep, and goats. The animals were given the necessary preventative vaccinations, including against anthrax, brucellosis, rabies, and other infections dangerous to animals and people.

Each animal undergoes a visual examination, its condition is checked, its temperature is measured, its weight is assessed, and, if necessary, samples are taken for laboratory testing. This comprehensive approach allows for the early detection of the disease and prevents its spread.

Along with medical procedures, specialists conduct interviews with residents. They explain the rules for keeping and feeding animals, and emphasize the importance of observing sanitary standards, timely vaccinations, and veterinary inspections.

Residents are reminded that even in the absence of obvious signs of illness, animals require regular preventative vaccinations. Owners often underestimate the importance of such procedures, which subsequently leads to the emergence of epidemic outbreaks.

Representatives of the Veterinary Service emphasized that the activities in the Badam district are part of a larger plan covering the entire Yenbekshinsky district. Similar work will be carried out in stages in other rural communities.

This systematic approach ensures control over the overall epizootic situation in the region and reduces the risk of major disease outbreaks. It is planned that by the end of the year, preventative measures will cover the majority of farm animals kept on private farms in the region.

For local residents, such events have significant practical significance. Agriculture remains one of the main sources of income for the population, so the health of domestic animals is directly linked to the economic well-being of families.

For example, timely vaccinations against brucellosis and foot-and-mouth disease help maintain livestock productivity and prevent mass deaths. This, in turn, means preserving dairy and meat products, which form the basis of rural residents' diets and incomes.

These events were made possible thanks to government support and the coordinated work of veterinary specialists. The government allocates vaccines and diagnostics from the national fund, and local services organize their effective use.

Local residents note that access to preventative measures makes their work easier and reduces animal care costs. After all, if an illness occurs, treatment is significantly more expensive than timely prevention.

According to specialists, the work will continue in other villages in the Yenbekshinsky District in the coming months. In addition to preventative vaccinations, plans include conducting animal censuses, strengthening monitoring of their movements, and improving the sanitary conditions of their habitats.

The introduction of digital accounting technologies is also being considered in the future, which will simplify animal health monitoring and promptly identify problem areas.

Thus, preventative work in the Badam rural district has proven highly effective and has been well received by the community. Local residents expressed gratitude to the veterinary service for their care of their animals and for the educational talks, which help increase awareness and responsibility among livestock owners.

Such events serve as an important element of the country's overall biosecurity system. After all, animal health is directly linked to human health, economic stability, and food security.
