Kazakhstan receives 250 head of breeding cattle from Australia

A plane carrying breeding cattle arrived in Aktobe at Aliya Moldagulova International Airport. The imported animals underwent the veterinary procedures required under Kazakh legislation. The quarantine period lasted 21 days.

During quarantine, specialists assessed the cattle's physiological condition and examined them for clinical signs of infectious diseases. They also checked the veterinary documents accompanying the shipment for compliance with established requirements. The checks included compliance with veterinary and sanitary standards.

The shipment's final destination will be the village of Budarino in Akzhaiyk District, where the receiving farm is located. The animals are scheduled to be sent there once all mandatory procedures have been completed.

The shipment was organized as part of efforts to renew Kazakhstan's breeding herd and improve the breed characteristics of farm animals. The country uses imports of breeding material, among other measures, to enhance the sector's genetic potential.

The imported animals are intended to broaden the farm's genetic base and advance its selective breeding work. Both imported breeds are widely used in beef cattle farming because of their productive qualities and adaptability.

Livestock breeding is among the country's agricultural policy priorities. Objectives in this area include improving herd quality, increasing productivity, developing the national breeding base and expanding the output of competitive livestock products.
