On October 23, 2025, another raid was conducted at the "Sandibai" livestock market in Shymkent to ensure compliance with veterinary requirements for the transport of livestock. This event was organized to regulate livestock farming, prevent illegal trade, and maintain epizootic safety in the city. Representatives of the Shymkent Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Services, the Department of Entrepreneurship and Industrial-Innovative Development, the territorial inspectorate of the Committee for Veterinary Control and Supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as specialists from the Veterinary Service and local police officers participated in the raid.

During the raid at the entrance to the livestock market, preventative measures were taken to prevent the illegal transport of animals, prevent livestock theft, and prevent the spread of highly infectious diseases within the city. The raid team informed livestock owners, buyers, and transporters that animals without a veterinary certificate would not be allowed into the market.

To prevent the illegal transportation of animals, the raid team inspected all vehicles and livestock arriving at the market. Particular attention was paid to the veterinary condition of the animals, the availability of necessary documents, and information about their origin. In cases where veterinary certificates were missing, administrative measures were taken against violators in accordance with current legislation.

During the raid, citizens were informed of the provisions of the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Administrative Offenses" regarding liability for the illegal transportation of animals. This effort is aimed at raising the legal awareness of both sellers and buyers of livestock and ensuring their compliance with the law. Furthermore, regular raids help maintain order in the livestock sector, stabilize the epizootic situation in the city, and ensure the safety of residents.

The specialists participating in the raid conducted outreach to each market employee and vendor, emphasizing the need to comply with the law and the risks of transporting animals without veterinary documentation. The raid team's work ensured a high level of control at the livestock market, an important measure to prevent animal theft and the spread of infectious diseases.

The main objectives of the raid were as follows:

1. Prevention of illegal transportation of livestock.

2. Prevention of the spread of diseases and worsening of the epizootic situation.

3. Monitoring compliance with legislation in the field of animal husbandry and identifying violations.

4. Conducting explanatory work with the population and entrepreneurs.

During the raid, various categories of livestock were inspected. The documents of private entrepreneurs and farmers, the animals' veterinary passports, and their physical condition and health were checked. Regularly conducting such activities helps maintain order in the livestock market, ensures food safety, and prevents animal epidemics.

Each organization participating in the raid fulfilled its own functional responsibilities: the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Services monitored animal health; the Department of Entrepreneurship oversaw the legality of retail operations; the Veterinary Service MCC ensured animal safety; and police officers identified and prevented violations. This collaborative effort allowed for a thorough inspection of the market to ensure compliance with all regulations.

The raid confirmed that all animals at the market had the necessary documentation and had passed veterinary inspection. No violations related to illegal livestock transportation were identified. This helps ensure food security for the population, maintain order in the livestock industry, and control the legal trade in livestock.

Furthermore, during the raid, animal sellers and transporters were given recommendations on adhering to safety, sanitation, and veterinary regulations. All these measures are aimed at fostering a legal culture in the livestock industry and maintaining epizootic safety in the city.

Thus, the raid on the Sandibai residential complex's livestock market was an important measure to ensure order in livestock farming, prevent illegal trade, curb the spread of infectious diseases, and protect the safety of city residents. Regular inspections of this type contribute to the effective regulation of the livestock market, monitoring compliance with the law, and ensuring a stable supply of safe animal products.

The raid confirmed that the market is in order, and all animals have undergone veterinary inspection, guaranteeing city residents access to high-quality and safe products. Furthermore, the raid contributes to strengthening the legal culture in the livestock industry, preventing illegal animal trafficking, and stabilizing the epizootic situation.

Thus, the October 23, 2025, raid at the Sandibai residential complex market played a significant role in ensuring law and order in the livestock sector, monitoring the epizootic situation, and protecting the safety of Shymkent residents. The raid's effectiveness was demonstrated by ensuring legal trade, overseeing the safe transportation of animals, and maintaining a constant level of food security for the city's population.
