"In his annual Address to the people of Kazakhstan, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev paid great attention to improving veterinary medicine and instructed the government to take concrete measures to reform the veterinary system by the end of the year. Some work is being done in this direction in the Turkestan region. In 2019, veterinary organizations of districts and cities transferred to the jurisdiction of the regional Department of agriculture were able to centrally monitor and stabilize the situation. During the year, we increased wages by 1.5 times. This year, 352 million tenge has been allocated from the regional budget to improve the quality of veterinary measures. As a result, as you can see, veterinary organizations in districts and cities are now specially equipped. We have handed over 16 units of UAZ farm cars," the head of the region noted.

This practice is being carried out in the country for the first time. As a result, auxiliary and technical personnel in districts and cities have been reduced, veterinary specialists have been replaced, as a result of which the quality of services has improved. In recent years, no particularly dangerous diseases have been registered among farm animals.
