The Prosecutor's Office of Zhambyl Region conducted inspections on the application of veterinary legislation, revealing systemic violations in livestock registration, prevention and eradication of dangerous diseases, and lack of control in vaccination.
Despite the allocation of 6.8 billion tenge over the past three years to improve the epidemiological situation in the region, the situation with Siberian plague remains unsatisfactory.
Widespread discrepancies were found between the data on vaccinated animals and the actual number of livestock. Instances of selling animals after being declared diseased were discovered in Shu, Baizak, and Talas districts.
Owners failed to notify veterinary inspection authorities about the deaths of over 1400 livestock, leading to undetermined causes of death. Failure to implement quarantine measures for mass animal diseases was also identified.
In Zhualynsky district, no quarantine measures were taken for 500 cattle infected with leukemia. Numerous violations were detected in issuing certificates for transporting meat from animals in slaughter and processing facilities.
Two facilities in Taraz city engaged in informal trade and slaughtering of livestock for a prolonged period without authorities' attention. Mandatory laboratory tests for mutton and dairy products were not conducted in three major food markets in Taraz.
Administrative and disciplinary actions are being taken against responsible individuals for all violations, with a supervision report submitted to the Veterinary Control Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture.
