In the Turkistan region, quarantine has been introduced in two villages due to livestock rabies. The infectious disease was found in sheep, cows, and horses. A ban on consuming meat and milk from animals in three settlements is now in effect.
According to KTK, the quarantine was declared in the villages of Tlektes and Karabastau in the Kazygurt district. Specialists detected rabies in four sheep, a cow, and a horse. The horse attacked its owner and bit him, leading the man to be under medical supervision.
Two weeks ago, the same disease was found in cattle in the village of Syntas. Currently, around five thousand animals are under quarantine. Villagers are prohibited from walking their dogs and cats, and mandatory vaccination of pets has been announced.
Aset Bektaev, the head of the Kazygurt district territorial inspection of the Committee of Veterinary Control and Supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, stated, "During the quarantine, livestock cannot be sold in the market, grazed in other settlements, meat from the livestock consumed, or animals released from enclosures. We have set a two-month restriction period. If no new cases are identified during the quarantine, the restrictions will be lifted."
